Kino Border Initiative has begun work on a medical clinic directly across the street from the comedor. Opening in the next few days, the clinic will service recently deported migrants who need medical attention. The clinic will host medical students from Arizona universities who will volunteer their time to help treat and learn from the migrants who pass through the clinic.
Thanks to the hard work of volunteers Erin and Adolfo, the clinic has a fresh coat of paint and a whole lot of spirit. Thanks to groups like The Samaritins and donations from different groups and individuals, the clinic storage is already filling up with medical supplies, medication, and crutches (a whole lot of crutches!).
Pictures to follow with the opening!
