Recognize Public Health Crisis in Our Society
Khalil Rahman, MD
|
For this month’s address I planned to write about the basics of finance such as income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, etc. However, considering the tragic events in Buffalo and Uvalde, I feel it is imperative to address a public health crisis that is often overlooked in our field: gun violence.
As a father, it is impossible for me to think of the children we have lost without thinking of my own son who is in the public school system. I cannot bear the thought of sending him to school one day only for him to not return home or for him to suffer physical and emotional damage, but it is something I must always be weary of. I empathize with the victims and their families, whose lives will never be the same after this senseless act of violence.

The Salvation Army Clinic (SAC), located in downtown Lexington, is a student-run multi-specialty clinic that serves the uninsured population of our community. Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of our community by providing free medical services and increasing awareness of local health care resources. Through the volunteerism of physicians, along with pharmacy, social work, undergraduate, and medical students, we are able to provide adult primary care, pediatric care, ophthalmology, and dermatology services. Nutrition and smoking cessation services are also available through nursing and dietician program volunteers.
