Pointed Dispute: Fresno Doctor Backs Needle Exchange Without Joining Trade

The Fresno Bee

"The Fresno Free Medical Clinic started about 12 years ago, and I volunteered there for a year and a half. The clinic caters mostly to an IV drug user population, but we also saw poor and homeless individuals, and prostitutes; all are either uninsured or covered by medi-cal or medicaid programs. The clinic is run out of a school bus, it's cramped at times and supplies are limited, but we do our best. The clinic works alongside several other groups and individuals who are trying to help this population of people, including the Fresno Free Needle Exchange, volunteers from various drug treatment centers, and a social worker who helps people find housing, food, jobs, treatment centers, domestic abuse shelters, and mental health centers."
