The Value of Community Health Clinics

Many unemployed Californians and the working poor often turn to the nearly 800 community health centers throughout the state when they need medical attention. Host Scott Shafer visits the Russian River Health Center in Guerneville, in rural Sonoma County, to see how the state budget cuts have affected staff and patients.
