2. Referring clients to a nearby community mental health center for treatment.
3. Scheduling the local health department to come to the clinic for periodic testing for tuberculosis, diabetes, and hypertension.
4. Sponsoring an Alcoholics Anonymous chapter at the center.

3. Physical and sexual abuse, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and lead poisoning.
4. Tuberculosis, AIDS, hepatitis B, and mental illnesses.
