Current staff and volunteers

The St. Mary Catholic Church Clinic was opened on August 27, 1994. Mr. Michael R. Kalland donated the $16,000.00 necessary to build it in a renovated classroom in the Holy Family Hall, located at St. Mary's campus.

Volunteer doctors had come to our clinic twice a week and a bilingual receptionist translated for the doctors and patients. Service was given free of charge. The clinic is now operated by C.L. Brumback Clinic (Health Dept.) out of Belle Glade. Doctor, nurses and receptionists come Monday thru Friday. The dentist comes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Reverend Anthony J. Chepanis of St. Lucy Church in Highland Beach, Florida donated the funds to buy a shed, which now houses the supplies for the clinic. In the year 2000, four new examination rooms were added due to a $48,000.00 donation. There are now plans to add another 2,500 feet to the clinic for more dental rooms.

Dr. Phillip and Lisa Crawford started a dental clinic in early 2000. Volunteer dentists along with dentists from the health dept. now join Dr. Crawford and his wife to minister to our patients free of charge.

A special thanks to these dedicated medical professionals for making our free clinic a resounding success, providing much needed services to our parish members. Please help support this endeavor by making a contribution to our clinic as we supply needed drugs and medicines free of charge. The need for St. Mary's clinic is especially acute because Pahokee's only local community hospital closed 10 years ago.
