Hagerstown businessman donates $20,000 to free clinic

Hagerstown businessman Franklin Turner presented a check for $20,000 to Robin Roberson, executive director of the Community Free Clinic, on Dec. 28.

Due to recent economic challenges and a decrease in funding, the clinic had to stop taking new patients in October.

Turner made the contribution to the clinic in response to a story published by The Herald-Mail concerning the clinic’s financial needs.
