Community Leaders Celebrate with SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic
On Wednesday, September 24, the SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic celebrated its mission to treat uninsured and underinsured patients in the Detroit and Highland Park communities.
SAY Detroit leadership and community stakeholders toured SAY Clinic’s new and more modern facility at 1355 Oakman Blvd. and learned about expanded patient offerings, such as pediatric care and a plan for dental care.
The SAY Clinic opened its doors to the new facility earlier this summer and has been continuously treating its existing patients while welcoming new ones.
Lessons to Prevent Kidney Disease at Wellness Wednesdays
The National Kidney Foundation joined the SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic’s Wellness Wednesdays women’s support group to share the importance of taking care of our kidneys.

The National Kidney Foundation will return in October for a session dedicated to healthy eating.
