Today I met with Dr. Lewis at Alliance Medical Ministry. I had the opportunity to shadow her and meet her patients. I also met the volunteer coordinator, Ms. Daniel, who gave me a tour of Alliance and talked to me about the facility. This clinic is a nonprofit clinic that is funded by donations. These donations allow working uninsured adults in Wake County to get healthcare. AMM focuses on treating “the whole person” (a phrase used multiple times today). In addition to primary care, the clinic provides counseling and wellness programs (yoga, cooking classes, etc.). Everyone I met at AMM was very kind and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow!
