The Weekend Clinic

The community is truly amazing.

Studio Dara is hosting a FREE Intro to Yoga session to help promote health and wellness within our community, so obviously we had to get in on it. 🧘

This beginner-friendly class is open to all experience levels, and mats/supports will be provided.

📍 Studio Dara - 1011 3rd Street, Ironton OH
📅 Saturday, June 20th
⏰ 9:00 AM – 9:45 AM

We’re incredibly thankful for community members and organizations like Studio Dara that continue finding ways to support local wellness. Opportunities like this remind us that healthcare is about more than offices and appointments, it's also about finding time to take care of yourself.

After months of waiting, dreaming, and taking vitals like it’s 1997… our new GE vital signs machine has officially arrived at The Weekend Clinic. 🎉

Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the team:
✨ The Fancy Blood Pressure Thing ✨

This beauty checks blood pressure, pulse, oxygen, temperature. Just like I used to.

If you’ve ever been seen at the clinic, you KNOW how excited we are about this. What most people see as “just a machine” is actually a huge step forward for us and our patients. Thanks to grant funding, we were finally able to bring in equipment that helps us provide even better care for the community.

Please comment “welcome” below so it feels appreciated before we immediately put it to work. 😂



Also, If you need an appointment, feel free to make one here:

The Weekend Clinic will be CLOSED this Sunday, May 10th due to provider availability.

As most of you know, we are a volunteer-run clinic. Every single Sunday depends on licensed medical providers donating their personal time to care for our community. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to secure provider coverage for this weekend.

That said, this is also a reminder of just how much this clinic relies on people willing to step up and serve.

We are actively looking for physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who would be interested in volunteering with us.

If you don't have your Ohio license, we may be able to help in paying for the reciprocity costs.

Our ask is simple:
• One 5-hour clinic shift
• About once every other month
• Roughly 6 Sundays per year

That small amount of time makes a massive difference for patients in our area.

You do not have to commit every weekend. You do not have to carry the entire load. Even occasional help allows us to keep the doors open consistently for the community.

If you are a physician or provider interested in volunteering or know someone who may be, please let them know what we are about, how much we care for the community, and have them message us directly or send us an email to: [email protected]

We appreciate everyone who continues to support this mission, and we look forward to being back open the following weekend.

Quick note to the community:

You see The Weekend Clinic open for five hours on the weekend.

But we don’t just show up. This is intentional.

Every single clinic day takes planning, getting volunteers lined up, making sure we have what we need, doing the mountain of paperwork, and trying to make things run as smooth as possible.

This week we were at the Ohio Charitable Health Network Conference representing the clinic and connecting with other organizations doing the same kind of work.

We’re always trying to get better, find ways to lower our costs, run things more efficiently, and bring more value back to this community. It's well known that the care we provide is free, but it should also be known that we do not compromise in the quality of care.

Everything we do, behind the scenes and on Sundays, is for the community. Even if I have to wear a blazer over my t-shirt for "dress code".

We appreciate the support more than you know.

As always, if you need care this weekend, come in.

Sunday 1pm-6pm

By age 1, most babies should be able to:
• Take their first steps
• Say a few words
• Cause mild chaos

By age 1, The Weekend Clinic has:
• Served 400+ patients
• Provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in free care
• Built something this community can rely on

We’ve always heard “it takes a village.”
We just didn’t realize how true that was until this past year.

The entire tri-state has shown up, through support, donations, volunteering, and simply spreading the word. We had no idea how many people would respond, but it’s clear… there’s a real need, and this community is stepping up to meet it.

This is a thank you.
To everyone who has helped, supported, or trusted us with their care - this doesn’t exist without you.

The clinic is growing up fast.
Thanks for being part of it.

As always, if you need care this Sunday, make an appointment here or simply walk in:

Hey! We made the news!

A clinic in Ironton, Ohio is helping provide free medical to those who need it. Jake Cogan and Dr. Bryan Grooms stopped by First Look at Four to tell us about The Weekend Clinic.

It’s officially tick season.

We don’t have on-site testing for tick-borne illnesses, but we can evaluate bites and treat when appropriate. Especially if you’ve had a recent high-risk bite or symptoms after exposure.

If something feels off, don’t ignore it.

Sundays 1–6 PM
Free care, no insurance needed. Walk-ins welcome.

Happy Easter from all of us at The Weekend Clinic.

We will be closed this Sunday to observe the holiday.

We’ll be back next weekend at our normal hours.
