Person Family Medical Center Deals with the Economy and Patients' Health

Person Family Medical Center speaks about how the downturn in the economy has affected their patients' health.

"People are feeling broken," she says, noting that the unemployment rate in Person County hit 12 percent this summer, higher than the North Carolina and national averages. "They thought they would always have a job and always have health insurance."

And when the two huge stresses combine, she says, health takes a hit.
