First Thursdays at the Law Library: Marin Community Clinics
Event Information
About this Event
Marin Community Clinics has provided compassionate and affordable health care to uninsured and low-income residents of Marin County since 1972. We have grown from humble beginnings where volunteer physicians and nurses saw patients in church basements, to a 21st century provider with modern facilities, expert paid physicians and nurses, the latest technology, and sophisticated diagnostic, treatment and prevention programs.
The Clinics provides pediatric, family and adult medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, dentistry, behavioral health, diagnostic radiology, pharmacy, laboratory, and some specialty services to over 38,500 insured and uninsured Marin residents annually. In addition to healthcare, the Clinics offer several programs that promote overall well-being such as health education, stress management, social support, and food security.
Meilyn Santana, MPH/HSA is Marin Community Clinic’s Director of Grants and Communications. She has worked at the Clinics for over 7 years and has overseen several Clinics’ departments and programs. Meilyn is a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil and holds a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from the University of Science and Administration of Curitiba and a master’s degree in Public Administration with a Health Concentration from the University of San Francisco.
First Thursdays at the Law Library is an opportunity for residents of Marin to learn about the numerous agencies that provide services to the public at no or low cost. Who are these folks and how can they help you? A representative of the agency or county department will present information about their organization followed by a question and answer period. Come get to know your local officials and community service agencies.
