Good Neighbor Clinic celebrates 20 years of free medical care to uninsured in Sauk Prairie The Good Neighbor Clinic of Sauk Prairie is excited to announce a celebration of its 20th Anniversary. Opened on November 9, 1999 by Dr. Haakon Carlson and a handful of volunteers, the clinic began offering free primary medical care to the uninsured in the Sauk Prairie area. Since then, the clinic has moved from its humble beginnings in one room at St. John’s Lutheran Church, to bigger quarters at the St. Vincent de Paul Resource Center, and finally to its current location at 95 Lincoln Avenue in Prairie du Sac. During its 20 years, the clinic has served over 4600 patients. All current and former volunteers, board members, and patients are invited to celebrate this milestone on October 2 at 5:30 p.m. in the former Gift Shop at Wellspring. Pictured is Dr. Haakon Carlson with Adela Flores. Adela was on of the first patients on “Opening Night” of the Good Neighbor Clinic. Adela remembers seeing Dr. Carson in a small room with a small metal table and a chair. She and her daughter, Lily, view Dr. Carlson as a hero. Pictured are members of the original Board of Directors for the clinic: seated are Reverend Don Wendt, Dwight Pulsfus, and Lani Marquardt. Standing are Jim VandeHey, Kaaron Keene, Mary Ann O’Brien, and Dr. Haakon Carlson. Also members of that original group, but not pictured are Dr. Tony DeGiovanni and Karen Fabisiak.
