Leflore county health center opening 01-26-2011

THE UNINSURED WORKING CLASS WILL SOON HAVE ANOTHER OPTION FOR AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. THE LEFLORE COUNTY HEALTH CENTER WILL SOON OPEN ITS DOORS IN GREENWOOD, TARGETING THOSE WORKING INDIVIDUALS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THEY DON'T QUITE QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID SERVICES, NOR CAN THEY AFFORD A HEALTHCARE PLAN. THESE INDIVIDUALS TYPICALLY CARRY THE FULL LOAD AND REMAIN UNINSURED.  BUT ORGANIZERS WANT RESIDENTS TO KNOW QUALITY, AFFORDABLE SERVICES WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE. MANY CITY OFFICIALS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ASSISTED IN GETTING THE CLINIC'S DOORS TO OPEN, WITH GRANT MONEY PROVIDED BY THE DELTA HEALTH ALLIANCE ALONG WITH A DONATION FROM THE E.C.W. GROUP OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY.
