Sponsored Nonprofit Showcase Edmond Waterfront Centers Foot Care Clinic provides caring expertise to community

The Edmonds Waterfront Center's Foot Care Clinic delivers essential foot care services to the Snohomish County community, prioritizing low- to no-cost access for residents. Managed by Kirsten Beck, the clinic conducts over 200 sessions monthly, tackling foot health issues that are vital for maintaining mobility and independence, especially for individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Clients, like Peter Reckendorf, express appreciation for the personalized attention and practical advice received during visits. The clinic's affordability stems from financial backing by the Verdant Health Commission, which plays a pivotal role in ensuring the program's sustainability. Beck is considering expanding services to the Lake Ballinger Community Center to meet increasing demand.

The nurses at the clinic are Washington State licensed and trained as foot care specialists, enhancing the quality of care provided. With each visit costing $40, fees can be adjusted based on financial need, ensuring accessibility for all. This initiative underscores the significance of community health programs in promoting overall well-being.
