Carl Corbin, Whitman-Walker Makes Me Feel Like a Person

As part of Whitman-Walker’s 40th anniversary, officially January 13, 2018, we’re sharing 40 stories to help tell the narrative of Whitman-Walker in community. Please meet Carl Corbin, former Patient Advisory Committee member at Whitman-Walker Health! Originally from Virginia, Carl has helped Whitman-Walker adapt its care practices and priorities from a patient’s point of view. Carl never fails to support a client in need around the health center and ensures their care needs are being met. After recovering from open-heart surgery and becoming disabled, Carl came to Whitman-Walker for Public Benefits and Insurance Navigation services to enroll in public assistance and insurance coverage.
