The job of being a nurse fits Kathy Clark-Jones like a glove.

She's been in the profession for 32 years, and in 1994, helped establish the Greater Killeen Free Clinic - a non-profit facility that provides free health care to patients that have no access to health care.

Clark-Jones says "they're exasperated you know, they don't know where to go. After coming here, at least they feel like they've gotten something."

"I cant tell you the joy in your heart when you walk out of this building on those nights knowing you touched those people," says clinic secretary Lisa White.

Last year, over 3,000 patient visits were made to the free clinic. 2008 was also the year that Clark-Jones became a patient herself - a cancer patient.

"The last nine years I've taught the breast and mammogram clinic here and last year I did find a lump in my own breast and was diagnosed with breast cancer," says Clark-Jones.

White shares, "I would have never dreamed in 100 years that it would have been Kathy to get it (breast cancer). She's a nurse, she takes care of herself, she exercises, she eats right."

Jones went through all the surgeries and says she was "lucky" because she did have health care.

White wears pink every Monday and every Thursday for Kathy.

"It's still difficult being a recent survivor of all these things, but it's okay," says Clark-Jones.

So for October, breast cancer awareness month, News 10's Boss of the Month is a supervisor - and a survivor.

Her clinic's street address (309 North 2nd street) may read otherwise, but Kathy Clark-Jones is "second" to none.

"I'm very humbled to receive that recognition and especially from the people that i work with. I love every one of them."
