To the editor:
There have been news articles published recently about the problems faced by the BSP clinic (Benevolent Specialists Project) in Madison due to lack of reliable funding.
I have been a volunteer at this free clinic since 2011. While other free clinics offer preventive and routine medical care needed by many, the BSP clinic gives adult patients access to: cardiac care, arthritis management, eye and foot care for the diabetic patient, diagnosis of skin problems, plus blood work and X-rays and MRIs for diagnosis through the support of local hospitals.
