KOCO reports Together We Center's free clinic is seeking medical volunteers as patient demand rises

KOCO reported that Faith Clinic, operated by Together We Center and described as Canadian County's only free medical clinic, is seeking doctors, nurses, pharmacists and donations to meet increasing demand. The clinic provides primary care, diabetes and hypertension management, laboratory services and free pharmacy medications for uninsured patients.

Status matters. This page records a sourced development, not a completed No Halo investigation. An allegation is not a finding. Dismissals, settlements, judgments, corrections and final outcomes remain distinct.

Donor relevance

Why this matters

A shortage of clinical volunteers at a county's only free clinic could limit access to basic care and medication for uninsured residents. The public appeal signals both meaningful community demand and potential capacity pressure.

Attribution

Who reported or established this

KOCO reported the volunteer appeal and rising demand. Faith Clinic director Taylor Nelms described the clinic's services and need for additional community support.

Evidence limits

What remains unverified

No Halo has not independently quantified the increase in patients, established the size of the volunteer shortage or determined whether demand has caused longer waits, reduced clinic hours or patients being turned away.

Right of reply

Organization response

Nelms publicly asked health professionals and donors to help the clinic continue meeting patient needs. No separate response addressing current wait times or unmet demand was located in the consulted material.
