“I see Project Access as a very practical opportunity to provide a framework for our community to care for uninsured patients, especially in the realm of specialty care,” Dr. Bell said. “I think it’s a mandate from our point of view as a service profession to care for the uninsured and underinsured who represent a huge percentage of our population. We cannot ignore calls to care for them.” Dr. James Bell, Medical Director for St. Luke’s Palliative Care and Hospice, and founder of His Hands Free Medical Clinic, is also a Physician Champion. He said the community shouldn’t wait for the government to fix the problem of uninsured and underinsured patients. Special thanks goes out to our physician champions for their support of Linn County Project Access: Dr. Dean Abramson Dr. Dustin Arnold Dr. James Bell Dr. Craig Clarke Dr. Mary Kemen Dr. Richard Kettelkamp Dr. Jim Levett Dr. Sallie Streib
