On the way home from a meeting, I was listening to "The Story" and was pleasantly surprised to hear about Dr./Sister Ann Brooks and her clinic at Tutwiler. I know from personal experience how things run at her clinic. Many of our migrant families throughout the Delta have benefited immensely from that clinic. For many of these families, diabetes is an issue. At the clinic, they are given medication and a monitor machine - at no cost to them! Above all else, they are treated like human beings - with due respect. They are not asked to pay up front before receiving care. This is not a place where one is turned away because one cannot pay. On home visits, I get to see the look of relief these families have when I ask them how it went for them at the clinic. I know that they are receiving the best care possible. All Dr. Brooks tells me, “keep them coming”. I feel so honored to know of people of her stock here in the land of Emmett Till. At any rate, below is the link to her story on "The Story": http://thestory.org/.
