About 40 Free Clinics were represented from throughout the Western United States. Nicole Lamoureux from the National Association of Free Clinics attended and shared information on membership. The lunch speaker on Friday was Dan Bernal from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office. And one of the many other highlights was a presentation to Dr Winston F Wong from Kaiser Permanente.
