Cheri Thomas is one of the unlucky few who are too young for Medicaid and makes too much money for the Affordable Care Act so accessible healthcare is key for her lifestyle. She utilizes the sliding fee discount to afford her medical care. Cheri receives regular eye exams and recently moved from her past eye doctor when she learned TCCH offered vision services. “I switched to TCCH because I come here for my medical and dental care. It’s easier to do everything in one place and everyone is so nice here,” she said.

Cheri is an avid reader and is adamant that her eyes stay healthy. She scheduled an eye exam to make sure her cataracts had not advanced. Cheri was also receiving a test for macular degeneration because her previous doctor noticed a wrinkle in her eye; this wrinkle was causing her the most worry. Fellsmere is her favorite TCCH location, “You have no idea how beneficial it is to have this facility. You don’t wait forever to get an appointment. It’s just pleasant and that means a lot.”
