Who Are the Elks?
Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.

Success Attends Free Clinic Opened By Freeport, N. Y., Lodge
The free Medical Clinic opened by Freeport, N. Y., Lodge No. 617 which is housed in the Reitmeyer Building on Grove Street is proving itself to be one of the finest humanitarian projects ever undertaken by the Lodge, although it has only been in operation a short time. At present the Clinic is conducted like an out-patient department of a hospital with the exception that no operations are performed. Periodical examinations and diagnoses of children under six years form the main work of the clinic at present, though it is expected that its service will include adults in the near future. The Clinic occupies an office and two consulting rooms. All the medical work is done under the supervision of the Nassau Medical Society with Dr. William H. Runcie in direct charge, and a nurse, loaned by the State Department of Health, is in daily consultation with mothers who do not want to come to a clinic with their children.
