others from the community. Gennesaret Free Clinic has been
recognized for its efforts both nationally and locally. Gennesaret
serves thousands of patients each year and distributes tens of thousands
of prescriptions and over the counter medications.

| Gennesaret (pronounced jen-NES-sah-ret) Free
Clinic was started in 1988 when Dr. James A. Trippi, a local
cardiologist, was volunteering at a soup kitchen. As he watched
the homeless people walk through the line he began diagnosing their
ailments in his head. When he asked if they had medical care, they
replied, "No." Seeing a need, Dr. Trippi packed his
black bag and began treating homeless persons who slept on the pews of a
local church. From that encounter Gennesaret Free Clinic was born
- a human response to a community need.
