111 Grassroots Activism - Crushed by my Silence

Writer/Producer: Rod Clarke

When they retired from medical practice a decade ago, Dr. William Lascheid and his wife Nancy, a nurse, their consciences wouldn't let them walk away from the working poor who needed help but didn't have health insurance. They opened the Neighborhood Health Clinic in Naples, which has utilized volunteer medical professionals and public donations to serve more than 25,000 people.
