Volunteers are the Heart of LOC!

Meet

Sandra Hernandez

Every Thursday evening a group of medical and lay volunteers meet at the

Dream Center on old Highway 288 to provide healthcare to uninsured residents

of our community. These dedicated men and women are the key to the success

of the Live Oak Clinic. Without the time and effort of these generous people,

LOC would not be able to provide this much needed service to the Brazosport

area.

Our volunteer, Sandra Hernandez, is truly a vital member of this Live Oak Clinic

Team.

Sandra worked as a registered nurse in Colombia before moving to Texas in

2004 with her husband, Ron, and their two children. At Family Life Church she

heard about Live Oak Clinic and decided to volunteer on Thursday nights.

At the clinic she uses both her medical

knowledge and her Spanish to provide care

for the patients. Her ability to interact with

and translate for the non-English speaking

clients is the reason she loves to volunteer.

Sandra is currently attending classes at

Brazosport College working on a degree as a

medical assistant.

Thanks so much, Sandra, for all your help!

Spotlight on Mike Kesseler

Mike Kesseler is Vice- President of the board of directors for Live Oak

Clinic. He grew up in Lake Jackson and returned in 2004 with his wife

and four children. He is the co-owner of Nicks & Kesseler Insurance

located at 28 Circle Way.

Being on the board of LOC gives Mike an opportunity to serve the

community of Brazosport. He likes to use his skills and expertise to

help others and to make a difference in their lives. He finds it very

satisfying to hear the success stories of the patients that are helped

each week at the clinic.

Mike's vision for Live Oak Clinic is to be open more than one day a

week because he knows there is a tremendous need for low cost health

care.
