The Los Medicos Voladores, also known as The Flying Doctors, will be returning to the Morongo Basin for a free health clinic on March 4th.
At this week’s MUSD board meeting, Jeff Grabow, Vice President of the Southern California chapter of the non-profit Flying Doctors, announced their largest free clinic to date in the Morongo Basin, to take place at Copper Mountain College on March 4th, sponsored by the Morongo Basin Health Care District with strong support by Local Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The clinic will feature up to twenty-five dentists and hygienists who will “brighten smiles, fill cavities, and extract teeth if need be;” optometrists to provide vision exams and if the patient needs glasses, they will be made on site with a fabrication unit. Students from the medical assisting class, under the supervision of Ken Weiss, will be checking patient’s vital signs, blood pressure, respiration, oxygen saturation.
Grabow said, “Let me stress—everything is free to those who receive our services… We provide services without compensation or discrimination of race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.”
