George and Mary Lee Fischer

Co-Founder and Board Member Emeritus
2009-2020 Chair/Vice-Chair

The late George Fischer was the co-founder of Family Community Clinic and a retired entrepreneur with a broad depth and scope of wisdom and expertise. He served as Chair and Vice-Chair on the Board of Directors. In 2009, Father David Sanchez at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church established a small steering committee to create a vibrant parish.

"While visiting a son in Park City, Utah in early 2010 I learned that a free clinic there had received a large donation to acquire all new equipment and move to a new building. That clinic donated all of their used Medical equipment to me, and at that point, I knew what Saint Joseph's Catholic Church's vibrant community could become, and that would be what is now called Family Community Clinic, "Promoting health to the uninsured" housed at 1406 E. Washington Street. The Clinic moved into 1420 East Washington Street in the fall of 2018 to a newly renovated modern clinical facility which more than doubled our space.

The Clinic opened for business in the basement of the Saint Joseph Catholic Church’s Rectory on January 22, 2011, and served 9 patients. Some have referred to the clinic as the “Greatest Little Miracle on East Washington Street”. This Clinic’s success is very meaningful to me and I have been the lead fundraiser over the past 10 years, and very much want it to continue to thrive and care for our community’s uninsured.

Mary Lee and I have always been a team and today we are emphasizing recruitment and retention of Volunteers to serve the many uninsured people living in our community. By adding Telehealth services in 2020, the clinic can reach many more people who qualify for free health care services that meet the mission of this organization."

Mr. Fischer passed away in October 2022.
