Goat news was at the clinic on Thursday which was the final day of the drive, and touched base with clinic supervisor Jacqueline Swanson.

Despite the nice turnout, Swanson did mention that overall North Island donations have been down a bit recently.

The mobile clinic will be back in roughly 4 weeks if you didn’t get a chance to donate this time, or would like to donate again.
