LINCOLN, Nebraska (CNN) -- Sherry Pierce, who works at a fast food restaurant that doesn't offer health insurance, needs a dentist to look at three broken teeth that may be abscessed. Dr. Shawn Semin examines Gotti Water, 6, at Clinic with a Heart. Gotti had ringworm. Diabetic Shane Stender says his poor health cost him his job as a pizza cook and now he can't afford supplies to monitor his blood sugar. Home health aide Nina Forst wants a doctor to check out a rash on her son Gotti's head. Pierce, Stender and Gotti were among 52 patients who arrived one evening this week at Clinic with a Heart in Lincoln, Nebraska. The weekly clinic offers free care to those falling through the cracks of the health care system, says Dr. Rob Rhodes, a family physician who is president and founder of the clinic.
