In 1990 the HOPE Health Clinic was established to assist with a growing need for prenatal care for area patients who could not afford adequate health care.  The HOPE Clinic provides prenatal care, pediatrics, WIC (Women, Infant, and Children) a federal nutrition program, and immunizations.  The Clinic staff includes a Full Time Director, Part Time Nurse Practitioner, two Part Time RN's, two registered Dieticians, Nutritionist, Nutrition Assistant, WIC Clerk, and a translator. 

Specifically, in 2008 HOPE Health clinic saw 61 healthy babies born and the WIC clinic provided vital nutritional counseling and education to more than 3800 women, infants and children. 

This year at the HOPE Center Health Clinic has been one of records broken for the number of clients we are seeing.  Our WIC program (women, infants, children) numbers have skyrocketed.  While we feel blessed and busy being able to serve so many, it is a sad indicator of our economic environment.  Some of the people we are seeing now are those who have lost well-paying jobs and used all their savings and come to us as a last resort.  At first, we were surprised to see some of these people who came in very well dressed and driving nice cars but we soon realized that they needed help as much as anyone.  Often, these are people who would never have dreamed that they would ever have to ask for help and are embarrassed that now they need to.  We can see the pain in their eyes that they are the ones who are using the tax dollars instead of the ones paying them.  We try to reassure them that the WIC program is in place for everyone who needs it and that they have no need to be ashamed.
