The Weekend Clinic will be CLOSED this Sunday, May 10th due to provider availability.

As most of you know, we are a volunteer-run clinic. Every single Sunday depends on licensed medical providers donating their personal time to care for our community. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to secure provider coverage for this weekend.

That said, this is also a reminder of just how much this clinic relies on people willing to step up and serve.

We are actively looking for physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who would be interested in volunteering with us.

If you don't have your Ohio license, we may be able to help in paying for the reciprocity costs.

Our ask is simple:
• One 5-hour clinic shift
• About once every other month
• Roughly 6 Sundays per year

That small amount of time makes a massive difference for patients in our area.

You do not have to commit every weekend. You do not have to carry the entire load. Even occasional help allows us to keep the doors open consistently for the community.

If you are a physician or provider interested in volunteering or know someone who may be, please let them know what we are about, how much we care for the community, and have them message us directly or send us an email to: [email protected]

We appreciate everyone who continues to support this mission, and we look forward to being back open the following weekend.

Quick note to the community:

You see The Weekend Clinic open for five hours on the weekend.

But we don’t just show up. This is intentional.

Every single clinic day takes planning, getting volunteers lined up, making sure we have what we need, doing the mountain of paperwork, and trying to make things run as smooth as possible.

This week we were at the Ohio Charitable Health Network Conference representing the clinic and connecting with other organizations doing the same kind of work.

We’re always trying to get better, find ways to lower our costs, run things more efficiently, and bring more value back to this community. It's well known that the care we provide is free, but it should also be known that we do not compromise in the quality of care.

Everything we do, behind the scenes and on Sundays, is for the community. Even if I have to wear a blazer over my t-shirt for "dress code".

We appreciate the support more than you know.

As always, if you need care this weekend, come in.

By age 1, most babies should be able to:
• Take their first steps
• Say a few words
• Cause mild chaos

By age 1, The Weekend Clinic has:
• Served 400+ patients
• Provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in free care
• Built something this community can rely on

We’ve always heard “it takes a village.”
We just didn’t realize how true that was until this past year.

The entire tri-state has shown up, through support, donations, volunteering, and simply spreading the word. We had no idea how many people would respond, but it’s clear… there’s a real need, and this community is stepping up to meet it.

This is a thank you.
To everyone who has helped, supported, or trusted us with their care - this doesn’t exist without you.

The clinic is growing up fast.
Thanks for being part of it.

As always, if you need care this Sunday, make an appointment here or simply walk in:

Behind every Sunday clinic is a team of volunteers.

These are just a few of the people who help make The Weekend Clinic possible. They are healthcare providers, students, and community members who donate their time so others can receive care, completely for free.

And this is only part of the team. Many more volunteers are part of this team and help behind the scenes but, haven’t had their picture taken yet.

The clinic works because people in this community are willing to show up for their neighbors.

If you need an appointment, feel free to make an appointment here:

We always welcome walk-ins also!

Free Care.

Your pancreas works 24/7 regulating your blood sugar.

It doesn’t complain.
It doesn’t send reminders.
It just does its job (hopefully).

An A1c test looks at your average blood sugar over the last 3 months.

If you’ve been feeling:
• More tired than usual
• Extra thirsty
• Using the bathroom more often
• Or it’s just been a while since you checked

It might be worth a quick look.

Sometimes it’s perfectly fine.
Sometimes it needs a little help.

We’ll figure it out together.

Free A1c screening this Sunday (and every Sunday) at The Weekend Clinic.
