We are proud to share that WGMC is one of nine clinics receiving a share of grant funds to expand our Equity Rx program! This support is provided by the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC), with funding from the Cardinal Health Foundation, to help the uninsured and underinsured access their prescription medications.

This grant has provided us with staff training, new diagnostic lab equipment, and medical supplies. Diagnostic tests that we can run on-site include CMP, A1c, lipid, pregnancy tests, flu and COVID tests, and more!

Grants are a part of $5 million commitment from Cardinal Health Foundation and awarded by the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, and DUBLIN, Ohio, Nov. 5, 2025 –

Last Friday, WGMC staff and clients participated in our "Cass Street Bridge Clean-Up" event!

The day started with some yoga stretches and breakfast. Throughout the day, clients took part in meaningful therapeutic engagement with our lead therapist, Latreavette. Clients and staff worked side by side to clean our community, and shared lunch before wrapping up a fulfilling day by 2 PM.

Thank you to everyone who attended!

October is month! In the US, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime; but if detected early, the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is 90%. That's why routine breast cancer screenings, like mammograms, are essential.

If you're 40 or older - or younger with a higher risk for breast cancer - talk to your primary care provider about a screening. If you need help finding care, contact WGMC at 815-726-3377.
