Very welcoming volunteer staff with a Licensed Doctor. The service they provide is amazing. The lives that have been saved thanks to this program makes this program worth it. Its helps stop the spread of blood born pathogens like HIV and hepititis as well as infection cause by using dirty needels. It also cuts down on the risk of exposure to non users by taking in the used needles they ensure they wont end up in your gutters or at the dump where some unsuspecting city worker could get poked and end up with a life threatening condition.

Every Saturday 1 till 3. They have saved many lives and limbs, including my own. In addition to being a hypodermic needle exchange, Dr Lasher and medical students treat abscesses and minor medical issues FOR FREE for a population that does not normally seek treatment for even the most life-threatening conditions. Ive personally known over a half dozen people whos lives hes saved from abscesses that were within hours of bursting and leaving the person septic, and Ive heard stories of countless others whos lives Lasher, and the Fresno Free Medical Clinic has saved. They often distribute many harm reduction materials including those for safer sex and safer substance use. They always have drinking water and often have wonderful free bakery breads which I have lived off of, a few times in my life. ALSO THEY DISTRIBUTE CARDS THAT LET YOU CARRY SYRINGES! THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO HAVING A PRESCRIPTION. THE CARDS (WHICH THEY KEEP RECORDS OF) HAVE RESULTED IN MY PARAPHERNALIA CHARGES BEING DROPPED 9 TIMES AND 3 OF THOSE TIMES I WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE! Youll still get a ticket 9 times outta 10 but youll ALWAYS be NOT GUILTY/INNOCENT!
