Gene and Paula Margison Tammie Butler

Paula has been a patient at River Valley Christian Clinic since January, 2009. Gene has been a patient since January of this year.

Paula said, “I have been very blessed to have River Valley Christian Clinic. I could never afford my blood work or medicine and could not see the doctor as often as I should. When my husband had to retire in June due to his health, he lost his insurance at work because we were unable to pay for it. The clinic immediately stepped in and took him as a patient and they are taking very good care of both of us. We are very grateful to all the volunteers and we are thankful to be able to come to a place and know that each one there cares about you and your health. Also it is nice to know that when you walk out of there you always feel better than you did when you went in, not just in body but in Spirit also. May God bless each and every one of them always.”

Tammie was a patient the first night that the clinic opened, January 11, 2007 and throughout that year. She left us for a while and returned this year in January.

Tammie said, “I have been with River Valley Clinic for quite a while due to my high medical bills ($100,000+). I cannot work because my health condition is so bad. I don’t have insurance because I can’t afford $298 per month. I am so thankful for River Valley Christian Clinic. They have helped me so much with medication that I would otherwise not be able to afford. I have severe arthritis in my feet and knees, gout and fasciitis in my feet. I have severe neuropathy in my legs and feet due to diabetes and I also take medication for circulation, varicose veins and blood clot prevention. Thanks again RVCC!”
