"For most of us, getting medical treatment is no problem," notes the Brandon Outreach Clinic Web site. "Unfortunately, many of our Brandon neighbors are not eligible for public health assistance but cannot afford to pay for even the most basic medical care."

It's for these people who fall through the cracks that civic-minded Brandonites established the clinic to provide free medical care and pharmacy services, by appointment.
