Ways to Give
AWC’s work is almost completely funded by generous community support. Without donations, we could not continue to provide the quality of care, medications, and services that we do today.
Yeimi’s Story
When Yeimi was first diagnosed with Type II diabetes a year and a half ago, she didn’t know what to do or where to turn. She heard about Athens Wellness Clinic through some friends and came to the Clinic unsure if anything could be done, and apprehensive about a possible language barrier as she speaks very little English. Fortunately for Yeimi, AWC provides a full-time, on-site Spanish language interpreter who assisted her in communicating her healthcare needs to the volunteer staff, interns, and providers at the Clinic. AWC providers ordered a complete blood panel to determine the severity of Yeimi’s diabetes. When the lab results came back, Yeimi received encouraging news: her diabetes could be treated and managed but would require her full participation in a treatment program. Optimistic and full of hope, Yeimi made a commitment to get better and the team developed a treatment plan that would reduce her blood sugar levels through a combination of prescription medication and lifestyle changes.
A Team Effort
We didn’t just provide Yeimi with a treatment plan — we provided a patient-centered approach to healthcare that gave Yeimi access to comprehensive medical services, supplied her with the medication she needed to manage disease progression, and empowered her with the knowledge and resources she required to make healthy lifestyle changes. Since she began treatment, Yeimi’s blood sugar levels have decreased and she continues to show significant improvement and continues to receive ongoing care at the Clinic.
There are many patients with healthcare issues like Yeimi’s who need our support. To fulfill our mission, we need your support.
Please consider making a donation to AWC. You can make a difference in the lives of our patients — like Yeimi — and in our community.
