DANBURY, Conn., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Boehringer Ingelheim and AmeriCares Free Clinics today announced the opening of a new, expanded clinic in Danbury to serve the medical needs of the working poor at a time when demand for such services is higher than ever due to economic pressures.

The clinic, located at 76 West Street, is a partnership between AmeriCares and Boehringer Ingelheim to address the urgent need for free, quality healthcare in the community's large uninsured population.
