Hundreds of people lined up overnight for We Care Day at West Virginia Health Right in Charleston, the state's largest free clinic. The day included eye exams and glasses, 21 mammograms, 56 flu shots, 57 prescriptions, and 225 meals. Staff did not ask about income or insurance.
Those are the counts from the clinic. They are services given that day, not a promise about what any one test will find.
