Care Ring Executive Director Don Jonas was interviewed by WCNC's Michelle Boudin, along with Clinic provider Jenny Lutz and patient Rochell McGee about how coronavirus is on the rise among uninsured in Charlotte, and how Care Ring is providing care to those who have been diagnosed at no cost.
Executive Director Don Jonas said, “We are seeing more people than we've ever seen in our history.” And it’s only getting worse with each passing month.
“Every day there's more and more,” said nurse practitioner Jenny Lutz.
Jonas adds, “We have seen dramatic increases in the number of people were seeing who are COVID 19 positive – particularly in the Latino population.”
Lutz said that’s in part because many of their patients are essential workers who can’t afford to miss a day at work.
