When's the last time you had such a great experience at your heath care provider's office that you felt like bringing them a special treat? Well our health care rock stars at our Community Connections Health Clinic in Bridgeton were showered with gifts over the holiday season from grateful patients! One brought donuts, one tamales (they were eaten so fast - no time for a picture!), and another perfume! While gifts are never expected, they were such wonderful gestures to let our providers know they are appreciated! We believe the level of care and CARING our staff provide is second to none and its nice to know its making a difference. Thank you to all of our patients for trusting IFM with their care!

IFM's Hancock Clinic Manager, Kristi, joined the Lemay Fire Protection District and Pastor Terry Skinner of South County Nazarene Church to make some special stops at three Hancock Place School District family homes in Lemay, MO last week! The families appreciated the donation of toys and food items just in time for the holiday and enjoyed seeing the fire truck and meeting the fire heroes who help keep their families safe!

It was a cold night for a ride last night, but our hearts were warmed that so many came out to South Side Cyclery for the Holiday Lights Ride in support of IFM! Collections of canned goods and personal care items will continue through the holidays at their store. Thanks to the riders and to the Southside crew for choosing IFM this year and helping us raise funds for and spread the word about our mission!

We just toured Independence Center (what a neat place!) to see what they do firsthand and discuss how we can cross refer between their and IFM’s services. From job training to nutritional support to housing assistance to mental health services and medication support, Independence Center St. Louis is a haven for their clients. Lynelle, our Chief Clinical Officer, even found a holiday gift at their on site Clubhouse Shop! Our community is fortunate to have this great organization working to help those with mental illness build independence!

Parkway Central High School student, Sofia, was shadowing at our Hancock Place Clinic today with Kristi, the Clinic Manager, to learn more about what IFM does. She's taking an engineering course at her school through a program called Spark! offered in the district. She's interested in biomedical engineering as a possible career path so learning about primary care, the building block for all health care, is a great experience!
IFM's history is rooted in medical/health education as our Founder, Dr. David Campbell, has always been a champion for giving those in medical/health care training real world experiences, particularly those involving caring for underserved populations. Our clinics utilize volunteers, most of which are pursuing careers in the medical field, to help with scribing, patient coordination, and assisting with care under supervision. IFM not only cares for the medically underserved, but hopes to inspire future caregivers to consider a position where they can use their skills to help others.
