Guam - An extended outreach clinic will be available for those in the Santa Ana Subdivision in Dededo on Saturday. According to Department of Public Health Community Health Centers Administrator Linda Denorcey, the clinics are targeted for people without transportation.

She told KUAM News, "The reason it's out there is because as you know there are a lot of patients that lack transportation, which is one of the major barriers to healthcare. What we have done in this particular project is we're now having our doctors and our partners go out into these remote locations where the patients reside who have transportation barriers to coming into our health centers."

Already 2,000 people have utilized the nine outreach clinics, which originated from Health Resource Services Administration money targeted at increasing the number of patient users and encounters. Also available on site will be Chuukese translators and face-to-face visits with providers. The outreach is set for Satuday, March 10 from 9am to 1pm.
