Feminist Federal Fronts Funds To Clinic

The Free People's Clinic will remain open, at least for the present, following a loan from the Feminist Federal Credit Union to finance malpractice insurance.

The Clinic, 225 E. Liberty, ran into trouble last month when their insurance was suddenly cancelled. Without it, FPC would have been forced to stop treating patients. After much searching, Canadian National agreed to take them on, but the cost would have wiped out the Clinic's operating funds.

With the loan from Feminist Federal, FPC will continue operating Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings as usual. Additional funds will be needed eventually, but the Clinic staff is hoping for a grant from the city's Community Development Revenue Sharing Funds. FPC will not last out the year without additional money.
