Cleveland Foundation Grants Total $15.3 Million

The board authorized a grant of $150,000 to the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland in support of its expanded patient access initiative. Through this effort, the clinic seeks to improve its outreach and access to various communities that lack health insurance coverage, and significantly increase the number of patients it serves overall. In 2008, the Free Clinic served 10,000 patients, about 43 percent of whom were employed but did not have insurance coverage.
