“As a waitress and housekeeper with two young boys, I use my hands every day. My work feeds my family. When I got hurt, I turned to Vista Community Clinic. I walked into the clinic with a giant cut and the staff comforted me. Even though I didn’t have health insurance, the doctors took care of me. It took seven stitches but I walked out of there and was back to work in no time.”

Logan is one of the happiest children you will ever meet. He loves to take his doctor’s tongue depressor and “examine” his mom’s throat. He has come through the first few years of life without any of the childhood diseases that used to affect so many – measles, mumps, tetanus, diphtheria and many more. Thanks to the Vista Community Clinic, Logan won’t ever have to worry about those diseases. He may not like getting shots but he loves not getting sick.

Kylyn began coming to Vista Community Clinic when she was a baby. Her pediatrician recommended that she see the dentist beginning at 1 year of age. Lucky for her, the dentist was right upstairs. She started with dental exams and, as her teeth grew in, had them cleaned and a protective sealant applied. Cavities are the number one health concern for children nationwide. Kylyn’s good dental habits and regular check ups ensure she will grow up with a healthy smile.
