Ethical Statement
Grace Clinic considers every life to be a gift of God to be used according to His standards and for His purpose. Therefore ~
This clinic is provided for the benefit of those individuals who lack the resources to obtain medical care through other means. Therefore, individuals with medical insurance or other medical coverage may be directed to their providers, so that those without coverage can get the care they may need.
Grace Clinic will not promote or condone any form of suicide (doctor assisted or otherwise) or euthanasia, or any form of abortion. Any women needing pregnancy counseling will be referred to the Tri-City Pregnancy Center.
Grace Clinic will promote abstinence as the God-appointed form of birth control for single people, and will direct married persons to other available community resources for birth control.
Grace Clinic considers the proper stewardship of the body to be one of God's requirements and therefore will not participate in any project or program that will condone or prolong drug abuse, such as needle exchange programs. This stewardship principle also compels us to encourage our patients to stop any drug, tobacco or alcohol abuse and encourage us, as volunteers, to serve as examples in this area.
