Since September1978 when the Clinic started in a skid-row tavern, Joe Martin has served as itssocial worker helping the working poorget medical assistance to stay on the job.“Most o our patients have little or no healthinsurance. We don’t give ree medicalattention, though I wish we could,” saysJoe. “But with a sliding ee scale, somevisits are as low as $20.” It is traumaticwhen the one working person in a amilyneeds medical attention and lack o caremakes a amily destitute. “Emergencyroom care is expensive to everyone, “ Joeexplains, “so emerging health issues needto be addressed. People are living on shoe-string budgets oten balancing several jobsin the service industry. These jobs requirebeing on your eet and presenting a healthyace to the public.”The Market’s Clinic is now afliatedwith Neighborcare Health, a network ocommunity clinics around the city. Theafliation has led to changes in sta, butalso more coordination in unding. Manycases, such as those requiring psychiatricintervention, need reerrals to other sources.Social worker Joe Martin is there to helppatients wade through the paper work, fndemergency shelters, or pending surgery aspace to recuperate—all services that keepour citizens vital and contributing workersthis Labor Day and beyond.
