MMUMC Food Distribution, Mobile Health Unit
On Saturday, May 8, the Morton Memorial Church’s monthly curbside food distribution will begin at 8 a.m. and will continue until 10 a.m.
In order to maintain social distancing, drivers should enter the food distribution line from behind the church where they will be directed to the loading area. If you are unable to load your own vehicle, volunteers will be there to assist.
The St. Thomas Mobile Health Unit will open for patients at 9 a.m. and continue until 1 p.m. The Health Unit does not require an appointment, and it is open to all members of the community. Only one patient at a time will be allowed in the van, and patients are asked to wear masks. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided. The services offered are limited medications when needed, acute illness treatment (COVID testing is not available), well-child exams (no immunization at this time), adult flu shots (high-dose flue shots not available) and annual physicals. No opioids are available at the van. All are welcome regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Free prescriptions are also available. Please stop by on Saturday and encourage others to join you. There are many who have not seen a physician in over a year. Saturday is a great time to check on your health - especially for those who cannot get away during the week or who do not have a local physician.
All patient costs for services provided are covered by a grant from the South Cumberland Community Fund. If patients are insured the service will file insurance. Copays, deductibles, etc. will be covered by the South Cumberland Community Fund. All are welcome.
Morton Memorial United Methodist Church is located at 322 West Main St., Monteagle.
