The St. Petersburg Free Clinic has served those in need in the community for 37
years. The Free Clinic was founded by Warren Anderson in 1970 to help those on
the street with health problems. It soon became apparent that other help was
needed.
The name most closely associated with the St. Petersburg Free Clinic is Sister
Margaret Freeman, a member of the Catholic Society of Medical Missionaries. Sister
Margaret became the Executive Director in 1975 and worked on behalf of the Free
Clinic for 20 years. The Sister Margaret Freeman Foundation was founded in 1992
to honor her work. Contributions to this fund help continue her work.
Over the years some programs such as CASA have originated at the St. Petersburg
Free Clinic and then become strong enough to exist on their own. Other programs
such as Beacon House (the men's shelter) have been incorporated under the
umbrella of the St. Petersburg Free Clinic.
Marcie Biddleman became the first director of the We Help program when it was
established in 1975. She became Executive Director in 1992 and served until 1999.
Since 1999 to present, Jane Egbert has served as Executive Director of St.
Petersburg Free Clinic.
The St. Petersburg Free Clinic remains committed to serving those on the margins
of our society and providing help to keep families and individuals from "falling
through the cracks."
