CHICAGO: The Chicago Bible Church organized its first medical clinic at the Church premises on St John Lutheran Church in Lincolnwood. The Clinic evoked a good response from the community at large and turned out to be a great success. The Church Pastor Rev John Madhukar Bushi opened with prayer and meditation.
This outreach project was announced at Easter Service by the Medical Director Dr Hyer Paul Devarapalli. The free medical clinic that the Church sponsored was welcomed with wide arms when numerous prospective patients saw the banner and flyers around the neighborhood in Lincolnwood. The clinic was fully suited with four Doctors headed by Dr Hyer Paul CBC medical director.
The others were Dr Sandhya Meesala, Dr Vineela Jupalli and Dr Reena Paul. The clinic provided free services such as Body Mass Index Readings, blood tests, cholesterol tests and various other routine checks by Caring Community Home Health Agency. Registered Nurses Celestina Burgos, Zeryuya Gaddam, Allan Pitchan, Veronica Pitchan, Rachel Discenza, J P Villar, Kezia Kalapala (Nurse) were part of the clinic services. Chicago Bible Church designed this service as an outreach program to those who are incapable of affording insurance and other such benefits.
As the first time deal, the clinic did not have the facilities to prescribe drugs. However, the organizers and Church leaders have hinted at another similar clinic some time in the near future. By then that the things will run much more smoothly and will the camp will have more resources to prescribe and possibly hand out medication. St John Lutheran church management was kind to spare the main facility for the use of this clinic.
