Family HealthCare Center

Recently, I toured the Family HealthCare Center, an important community clinic  in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. 

The clinic provides needed primary care and dental services for Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured patients... basically, anyone in need.

If that wasn't awesome enough, the clinic is also part of a refugee resettlement program.  Individuals... families forsake the ecosystem of their homeland, possibly never to return.  The clinic helps with health, language, and even dietary challenges. 
.
I have plans to cover this clinic more and focus on the people dedicate to this work.  In that, there may be an opportunity to relate a specific refugee story - understanding the sensitivity in doing such story.

Excerpt from 
Song of the Oppressed

A single, soulfully raw voice,
a moan with words and tears,
captures the travail of
generations.

Fingers and lips echo the tragic rhythm
of unsettled feet....
