SOUTH BEND — Chelsea Clinton returned to South Bend Friday to visit a health clinic on the city's west side.

Clinton spoke to workers and patients at the Sister Maura Brannick Health Center. Clinton was there to experience how the free clinic operates. The clinic only serves patients who do not have any medical coverage.

Concerns among workers ranged from the current nursing and physician shortage in the medical industry to the quality of patient care.

Clinical Assistant Anne-Marie Rick asked Clinton about possible reimbursements for working with Medicaid and Medicare patients.

“I’m really concerned about what the future of medicine is going to look like," she said. "There’s already a physician shortage." Rick will enter medical school in the fall.

Hillary Clinton's universal health care plan aims to make care more attainable.
