Most cities impact the population under

00:16.570 --> 00:19.360
24 , which happens to be the same age

00:19.360 --> 00:21.710
group of the majority of active duty

00:21.710 --> 00:24.150
service members . So we sort of have a

00:24.150 --> 00:27.310
perfect demographic to target another

00:27.310 --> 00:29.421
purpose . The clinic services that it

00:29.421 --> 00:33.270
provides a non bias , non judgmental

00:33.270 --> 00:36.460
space for marines and sailors to come

00:36.460 --> 00:38.770
to without going to their sick call or

00:38.770 --> 00:41.630
medical and kind of getting a fair

00:41.640 --> 00:44.740
evaluation . No one gets in trouble if

00:44.740 --> 00:46.740
they get pneumonia , no one gets in

00:46.740 --> 00:48.851
trouble if they get strep throat , no

00:48.851 --> 00:50.962
one seems to get judged if they get a

00:50.962 --> 00:53.750
common cold . And yet when it comes to

00:53.760 --> 00:55.927
bacterial infections like chlamydia or

00:55.927 --> 00:58.630
gonorrhea , the stigma goes with it .

00:58.630 --> 01:00.741
It's not really fair to treat it that

01:00.741 --> 01:02.852
way . And we should just have an open

01:02.852 --> 01:04.797
and honest conversation about what

01:04.797 --> 01:06.908
causes those things , how they can be

01:06.908 --> 01:08.963
prevented . And also point people to

01:08.963 --> 01:11.130
resources of how it's treated and what

01:11.130 --> 01:13.570
happens if it's not treated . Our main

01:13.570 --> 01:15.681
goal at our clinic is believed no one

01:15.681 --> 01:17.792
in the dark . So we call every single

01:17.792 --> 01:19.959
patient with our lab results , whether

01:19.959 --> 01:22.181
or not any other results are abnormal .

01:22.340 --> 01:24.507
Um and we're very proud of that having

01:24.507 --> 01:26.451
a clinic like this provides us the

01:26.451 --> 01:29.480
right place to test appropriately to

01:29.480 --> 01:32.160
treat effectively and to counsel and

01:32.160 --> 01:34.550
teach people how they can prevent stds .
