Vital Volunteer: Bonnie Yarrington - 04/13/2012
by Count Darling
Each Monday and Thursday physicians, nurses and other volunteers convene for “Clinic Night”. After a long day in their offices, 30 or so dedicated physicians and nurses come together to provide care and treatment pro bono for those low-income working adults who have no medical insurance.
Bonnie Yarrington is the Monday night kitchen volunteer, keeping the food hot, serving drinks and cleaning up. Meals are usually donated by an organization, church, or local restaurant. But sometimes she does the cooking herself. It is thanks to Mrs. Yarrington that the Moorings Park kitchen caters a meal once a month. We have an additional need for meals during the summer when some of our cooking groups are away.
Supper is served in the small kitchen where all of the volunteers gather around for food… Read more…
Neighborhood Health Clinic Director of Operations -
Pam Cardec
Please join us in congratulating Pam Cardec who has been promoted to Neighborhood Health Clinic Director of Operations. In this capacity, Ms Cardec will be the full time employee responsible for oversight of all specialty programs and will support the coordinators and their volunteer teams.

This is an exciting time for the Neighborhood Health Clinic as we continue to grow because of our patient-driven mission. Thank you all for the support and commitment to our incredible organization.
13 is a Lucky Number at the Neighborhood Health Clinic -
On April 12th, we celebrate our 13th anniversary and want to express our heartfelt gratitude for:
- 13,000 patients who entrusted us with their lives
- $13,000,000 value of hours donated by our dedicated volunteers
- $13,000,000 retail value of life-saving prescription medications dispensed
- $13,000,000 of pro bono services donated by our healthcare partners
From that first clinic night in Grand Central Station with only three volunteers and eight patients, we have grown. Today we have more than 700 volunteers, have treated over 90 patients during a recent clinic session, and have spent the last 10 years caring for and about the working poor in our state-of-the-art medical home at 121 Goodlette Road North.
Our patient-driven mission has resulted in specialty programs for education and prevention:
- Diabetes Management
- Dental
- Breast Health
- Healthy Lifestyles
- Colon Cancer
Sovereign Immunity at Neighborhood Health Clinic Intact -
Simply said Sovereign Immunity is the “Good Samaritan Act” for healthcare providers. It protects providers from being sued when they volunteer their professional services and are not financially compensated.
The law states “all volunteers who work at the Neighborhood Health Clinic are protected under the State of FL Statute 766.115. This law means the State of Florida assumes responsibility for the treatment of patients eligible under this program. Volunteers are providing care on behalf of the State of Florida and legal action can only be taken against the State of Florida.”
We have done our due diligence and are confident that sovereign immunity for the Neighborhood Health Clinic is not at risk. For more information, please call Nancy Lascheid at 260-2084, Nina Gray at 260-2090 or visit the State of Florida website www.doh.state.fl.us to read… Read more…
