"Our goal is to provide access to health care and, thanks to this grant, we will be better equipped to do that," says Joyce Wood, executive director of Wake Teen Medical Services.

For Wake Teen Medical Services, the grant means being able to serve its customers better, says Wood.

The group's clinic on Oberlin Road in Raleigh opened in 1983 and provides health care for patients ages 10 to 23, most of whom are poor and not insured.

"We serve kids who are too old to go to the baby doctor but might not have access to any other health care professional," Wood says.

With fees based on a family's income level, the community-based clinic aims to provide care for those "who might otherwise have no access to health care," she says.

"But we also have to deal with laboratory and prescription medicine costs, and there is not enough money to cover those expenses," she says.
