This week, Orlando sat down with Mary Lewis, CEO of the Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic (GBCHC), to discuss how Michigan's largest volunteer-led free clinic is filling the healthcare gap in Michigan.

The mission of the Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic is to provide free, high-quality medical, dental, and pharmaceutical care for low-income and uninsured patients.  In addition, their goal is to ensure that treatment is provided in a caring, compassionate and dignified atmosphere.

With the recent Medicaid changes putting over 700,000 Michigan residents at risk of losing coverage, the role of free clinics has never been more critical. At GBCHC, they provide medical, dental, pharmacy, vision, and specialty care at no cost to patients. The clinic is on the front lines of health equity, offering an innovative, community-driven solution to a statewide healthcare access crisis.
