Sanger farm worker health clinic depends on UFWA fate
The United Farm Workers of
America's health clinic ln Sanger
provides  needed   medical ser-
But; says Sister Mary Conroy,
head of the clinic, "The fate of
the union (UFWA) Is the fate of
the clinic.'
Established last May by a
UFWA health group, the clinic
Is dependent on the union and Its
grower contracts for funds, as It
receives no outside financial asunder the Robert F. Kennedy
Health Plan, growers with contracts In the union can finance
the services - ten cents per
hour per worker.
Consequently, the number of
contracts held by the union Is
economically Important. Although
this number Is small, Sister Mary
expressed hope that the situation
will change - that Cesar Chavez
will he able to obtain more con-
nutrltlon Instruction for chUdren
and diabetics.
Pamphlets tn Spanish are also
passed out to the patients.
Sis tor Mary said the clinic Is
set up to focus on tbe family.
"The whole family Is on Hie,'
she said and "all the members or
the family are seen at onetime."
There are three bilingual community workers who conduct a
preliminary interview ln Spanish
with an Individual attending the
cUnlc for the first Ume.
Sister Mary aald 'there are a
lot of people who don't speak
English. They understand It, but
the*/ don't speak lt. The community workers can establish
better  rapport with the person

There Is one non-minority doctor from New York, who, according to Sister Mary, speaks 'good*
Spanish, and who sees an average
of 20 patients per day. There are
also three nurses, a receptionist, an Invoice clerk, a lab technician, administrator and the
three community workers.
One community health worker,
Minnie Carrlllo, puts ln six to
eight hours per week without pay.
Her reasons for doing so are
easily explained. "Because they

Saturday, closed on Sundays and
Is open for half a day on Monday

The doctor and nurses concentrate on the nutritional needa
of the schoolchildren and on diabetes and arthritis.

patients.

As for running for office, Mrs.
