These naturalized citizens have opened a free health care clinic for people temporarily out of a job and without insurance. They are giving back to their adopted country. - - Donna Poisl

WICHITA | Abdul Arif, a Wichita-based attorney originally from India, and a group of his friends — all immigrants — have opened a free health care clinic as a way to give back to the United States.
Named Mayflower Clinic for the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America, the clinic offers a full range of medical care — everything but hospitalization. It is designed to help people between jobs or temporarily lacking health insurance, not chronically unemployed or homeless.
“They’re people like … an aircraft worker who may be temporarily out of a job; that job could have been a $90,000-a-year job with all the benefits,” said Bill Hess, College Hill Neighborhood Association president. “What this clinic is designed to do is to provide benefits for that individual.”
