 Care Clinic at 650 N. Highland Ave., Suite 120, in Winston-Salem. The DEAC Clinic had been housed in the School of Medicine’s Bowman Gray Center for Medical Education in downtown Winston-Salem’s Innovation Quarter.
The new location is more convenient for many of the patients who need access to free care.
After modifying its hours during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinic is now open every Monday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. by appointment only for uninsured residents of Forsyth County as well as Davidson, Davie, Stokes and Yadkin counties.
The clinic also gives students valuable clinical experience and provides a teaching opportunity for faculty. It opened in 2008 and is staffed by students enrolled in the MD, PA and other School of Medicine programs who work together under the supervision of licensed physicians, PAs and pharmacy residents who volunteer at the clinic.
In 2020, the clinic provided care for 380 patients, and the most common conditions treated included diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and tobacco abuse.
The COVID-19 pandemic gave students the opportunity to learn something new as telehealth visits replaced many in-person visits.
So says telehealth has helped the students learn the value of new technology, resources and different communication styles.
“We can’t know for certain what our patient populations will look like 10 years or even one year from now but learning how to navigate a patient encounter outside of the doctor’s office during our medical training will surely expand our preparation for whatever comes next,” she says.
$250 can help the clinic cover yearly costs for labs. A basic blood draw can cost hundreds of dollars, which could prevent an uninsured patient from getting needed tests.
$100 can provide lifesaving breathing treatments. For uninsured patients, a nebulizer can cost two to three times this amount.
$50 can allow the clinic to help patients monitor diabetes.
$25 can help the clinic open its doors each day to treat a patient for a routine visit.

Published 6:00 pm, Friday, February 18, 2011
To the editor:
I think I have stumbled onto the real cause of herky-jerky, rumble-tumble rides on our city’s El Metro.
On Feb. 12, I got on a Route 8A bus to go downtown.
Before I could get to a seat, the driver sped down the street as fast as the motor’s power could go from a stopped position.
However, I was still standing right behind the driver trying to put my wallet away.
Since I am 76 and must use a cane for support, I had to grab for the nearest handhold to keep from falling to the floor, hanging on for dear life till the driver made it to the next bus stop to pick up another passenger.
I finally made it to the nearest seat at the front of the bus without any broken bones. I was furious!
I copied the bus number, fully intending to report this incident, as well as the entire wild ride.
But when I got off the bus at city hall, I noted the time.
The driver was right on time when I boarded; from city hall he had exactly 10 more minutes to make it to the bus station, let a lot more passengers off, then load probably many more passengers, to depart on schedule — an almost impossible task. (And that’s without a timeout for the restroom).
Thus, I sincerely regret the criticisms I have blamed on the bus drivers in the past.
The true blame seems to rest with poor management, from the top down.
It appears that they have set impossible timetables drivers must comply with to keep their jobs.
I must assume that route times were set about five years ago (because there have been few changes in that time).
However, the city traffic may have doubled in that time, and being a frequent rider, I have seen ridership nearly double in the last two years (no doubt a result of the recession and population increases).
Folks, it does not require rocket science to see that the whole mess needs a revision.
But, as I have cited recently, the local administration still has the same city secretary who has cost the city (us, the taxpayers) nearly $1 million in a lawsuit for sexual harassment … and he is still on the payroll.
Why should I think the city will do anything whatsoever to avoid multimillion-dollar lawsuits from injured bus passengers?
And our mayor still wants us to promote Laredo as a great place to visit.
Well, whoopdeedoo!
Shame on the mayor, City Council — and me and you for allowing this to continue.
