Free medical clinic to launch in Lompoc

LOMPOC, Calif. – Lompoc Valley Medical Center doctors volunteered their time off the clock to launch a clinic where free medical services will be provided to the community.

The hospital says although it is not affiliated with Savie Health, doctors and nurses from Lompoc Valley Medical Center are associated with this project.

Doctors said some don't have medical insurance, and this clinic could help those who can't afford to get treated medically.

Chief Operations Officer Dr. Naishadh Buch said right now some free services are offered by appointment only.

The hopes are for this clinic to have free medical, dental, and vision treatments for patients.

At this time, doctors said free medical services are set, they are working to get dental and vision services free of charge.

Once there is a full staff of workers, the hospital will launch and people can walk in for these services.
