Why are you interested in that specific style opie?
Only asking cuz idk and im curious lol. Or if someone else could give the tl;dr on that model id be happy.;
I can't speak for OP but there are some really interesting and exciting things going on in this space. If it's happening in Texas, I'm sure it's happening in other parts of the country.
Take the clinic I volunteer at as a translator:
1. Donation based free clinic but has really nice, up to date facilities.
2. At least 51% of the executive board members of the clinic system must be current patients of the clinic.
3. In addition to typical primary care services, all patients are entitled to services from in-house nutritionists, legal staff, social workers. The legal staff do not only work on insurance or malpractice issues, but offer pro bono advise on landlord disputes, housing problems, issues patients have at their job, workers comp, etc.
4. The people who are employed (paid) at the clinic must live in the community the clinic serves (Volunteer physicians are not paid, but many other staff are and some physicians are employed by the clinic part time and those physicians don't have to live in the community; last I heard Dell residency programs are trying to change this).
5. Cooking classes are offered at the clinic (which has a full service professional kitchen in house as well) for free to clinic patients. At the end of the 6 week program, clinic patients receive a cookbook with all of the recipes they learned. Recipes are chosen from the different cultures represented in the clinic community and patients in the program are given options on the different recipes they would like to learn. After each class, patients are given grocery bags with sufficient supplies to cook the same recipe at home for their Families and friends.
6. Referral system set up at major acute centers in the city so that whenever acute charity care is available, patients who need it the most are able to get it.
When you work at one of these types of places, it's just like wow, why can't everything be like this.
