A community healthcare clinic opened in the Shuhada district of Fallujah earlier this week. The clinic was built to help bring healthcare to the community and help alleviate the strain on Fallujah General Hospital. More than 800 local citizens attended the grand opening ceremony to see Iraqi physicians and get treatment. Located in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Fallujah, the clinic can serve up to 250 patients a day and handle different kinds of medical needs.
I betting you won't see anything about this in the Sacramento Bee. The last time the Bee printed a story about the troops, it was to announce a "survey" that concluded US troops are maladjusted murderers. Another reason McClatchy ignores news like this is because the current McClatchy Baghdad bureau chief, Leila Fadel, is only interested in stories about victimized Iraqis.
