CLEVELAND -- Nurses, doctors and health care professionals volunteered their time Saturday to take care of the uninsured.

MedWorks is a new nonprofit organization offering free health care.

More than 1,600 people took advantage of the free clinic at the Walker Center. They had their blood pressure taken and their eyes checked.

Valerie Neal said she came to the MedWorks clinic because she didn't have another option.

Zac Pensky created MedWorks. He said even he was surprised by the turnout, not only of patients, but doctors like Karen Cooper.

"I couldn't not come today. There's so many people who need to be seen, so many people without insurance," said Cooper.

Patients were triaged and categorized by their problem and then treated by some of the best doctors in the area -- everything from general care to cardiology.

Neal had lab work done while she waited.

"They told me I'm getting some complications that I'm going to have to check into," she said.

Neal left with drug samples and prescriptions. She said she hopes this free clinic returns, because if it doesn't, "I don't know where I'm going to go to get it taken care of."

On Monday, MedWorks officials plan to discuss the weekend's event and review what worked and what didn't, and possibly start planning another clinic soon.
