WMUK News: Free Clinic of Kalamazoo to close November first WMUK News: Free Clinic of Kalamazoo to close November first Posted: 2010-09-01 10:05:05 The Free Clinic of Kalamazoo is scheduled to close its doors by November first. The First Presbyterian Church of Kalamazoo opened the clinic in 1993 to provide free medical care for people without health insurance who don't qualify for Medicaid. The church ended its involvement two years ago and the current free clinic was organized. The chairman of the free clinic's board of directors Rick Russell says when it opened, those who started the clinic thought it would be a great day when it wouldn't be needed anymore. But he says it's tough to close the clinic even though it is the right time. Russell says the recent expansion of the Family Health Center changed the situation in Kalamazoo. Hear Gordon Evan's coverage of this story and an extended interview with Rick Russell at WMUK's news website.
