On Monday, Oct. 27, Archbishop Weisenburger blessed the newly rededicated Cabrini Clinic on the campus of Most Holy Trinity Parish in Corktown. The Cabrini Clinic was founded 75 years ago by Most Holy Trinity pastor Msgr. Clement Kern to provide free medical care to the poor and vulnerable in time before Medicare or Medicaid was established. Today, with administrative assistance from Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, and under the leadership of its new director, Elisa Martinez-Alvarez, the Cabrini Clinic provides free medical and dental care to the area’s uninsured and underinsured, as well as the homeless and immigrant communities.
