Imagine walking into a medical clinic where you're greeted with warmth and understanding, rather than judgment. That's the ethos of the Martindale Clinic in Salt Lake City, led by the compassionate Tessa Baysinger. In this engaging episode of Odyssey House Journals, you'll learn about how Tessa's personal journey through alcoholism has uniquely positioned her to run a clinic that prioritises dignity and respect for all its patients.
Whether you're dealing with addiction or simply need routine care, Martindale is a haven of support and healing. Hosted by TV news legend Randall Carlisle, alongside Nicole Slack, the podcast explores the challenges faced by those in addiction when seeking medical help. Tessa shares candidly about the stigma that often deters individuals from visiting doctors, recounting her own experiences of shame and fear in the healthcare system.
She emphasises the clinic's mission to provide a nonjudgmental environment, where patients are treated with love and their health needs are addressed without bias. Tessa's story is one of resilience and transformation, having been sober for nearly 11 years after alcohol took a toll on her personal and professional life. Her insight into addiction as a disease rather than a choice is a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy in healthcare.
The Martindale Clinic not only offers primary care but also specialises in addiction medicine, providing crucial services like Hep C diagnosis and treatment. If you're curious about how a clinic can truly make a difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction, this episode is a must-listen. It’s not just about medical care; it’s about creating a safe space where healing begins.
So why not tune in and see how Tessa and her team are changing lives one patient at a time?
