Kidder County Community Health Clinic a True Gift
During a recent visit to the Kidder County Community Health Clinic in Steele, I asked a waiting patient what it meant to her to have the clinic. “I love it and I’m glad we have the clinic. It is very much needed and it saves in time and travel,” said Dora. Since I had heard the great story of how the community came together to open the clinic I wanted to see the clinic first-hand. Both patients and clinic staff talk about the benefits of having the clinic. According to Anna, the clinic receptionist, “The clinic offers a service that really benefits the community. From our elderly population to our young families, the clinic provides access to basic health care. It’s also about being convenient, keeping jobs in the community, and saving long distance travel expenses for our patients.” The Clinic opened in December of 2006 and the people of Kidder County will tell you it was a true Christmas present.
