Rake a Difference

Pocatello Free Clinic

Scott Greeves sits down with Kathy Olsen to discuss the role of the Pocatello Free Clinic in the community and the upcoming ‘Rake a Difference Campaign’. 

The ‘Rake a Difference Campaign’, which is happening on November 6th and 7th and November 13th and 14th, will raise money for the Pocatello Free Clinic which works to provide health and dental care for the medically under-served of Southeast Idaho.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Pocatello Free Clinic has expanded its services and now offers Covid-19 tests and the seasonal influenza vaccine. Traditionally, the clinic has offered its services to those within 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. However, during the pandemic many people lost their job or medical insurance and therefore the clinic has raised its Federal Poverty Level qualification to 300%.

For more information on the Pocatello Free Clinic visit their website or call (208) 233-6245.

For more information on the upcoming ‘Rake a Difference Campaign’ contact Kathy Olsen on 208-232-7671.

Logan Ramsey was born and raised in Pocatello, Idaho, and is now a senior studying journalism at Idaho State University. He's currently working as Digital Content Director for KISU and News Editor for The Bengal. His aspirations to be a reporter began his senior year of high school when he began to compete in International Extemporaneous Speaking in the National Speech and Debate Association. Halfway through his freshman year of college, he began to write freelance articles for the Idaho State Journal, and a couple of months later he was hired as a part-time reporter. Not long after, he began work as the Associate Editor of ISU's student newspaper, the Bengal. After a semester, he was promoted to Editor-in-Chief and stayed in that position for two semesters. In order to do more writing, he switched to the News Editor position at the paper. Logan is now working hard to ensure the Bengal has stellar news coverage.
