So you found there were a number of neighborhoods like this on Hilton Head. And the people who lived in these neighborhoods had absolutely no place to receive health care. I mean they had no place for the treatment of their diabetes, their high blood pressure or their arthritis or whatever it is that was bothering them, nothing, nothing. That's the situation Debbie Singleton found herself in. After all, they're here to retire, to take it easy.

In the six years the clinic has been open, there have been more than 60,000 patient visits. Over 150 retired health professionals volunteer their services. Family physician Art Friedman holds two records at the clinic.

And we don't care how long it takes for them to see a patient.
