Garden City Community Clinic
Meet Glenda Steel:
"I came to Garden City Community Clinic two years ago. My anxiety attacks were debilitating. I called around the community and nobody would offer to help. I called the Clinic and they prayed with me on the phone and scheduled a time for me to come in that evening.
The clinic provided me with anxiety medication and blood work for my Hepatitis C. It showed high activity levels and I was referred to a gastroenterologist. While looking at my liver through the ultrasound, the hospital staff found a 10 pound tumor in my uterus. They ordered a CAT scan that day and an OB/GYN referral was made. Together, the two doctors coordinated the timing of liver treatments, since my Hepatitis treatments needed to be done after the tumor was treated.
It’s been 14 years since I was addicted to drugs and alcohol, but my past meth use has left me with crumbling teeth, so now I’m getting served at the dental clinic too.
I’ve gotten far more than medical care here at GCCC. Just two months into treatment, my husband was in a car accident and broke his neck, leaving him a paraplegic. I have received emotional support around my husband’s accident and prayed with volunteers during clinic hours.
Today there is no sign of the Hep C virus in my blood stream and the tumor from my uterus was successful removed. I wouldn’t have been taken care of if the Clinic wasn’t there. I would have died by now with all my problems. It has been a Godsend. Thank you."
