The community is invited to visit from 3-5 p.m. to see the new facility, located inside the Jubliee Center. The facility will officially open its doors on April 3. Clinics are staffed by nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and physicians. Services offered include screenings for and treatment of various diseases, including cancer, HIV and STDs.
Clinics also offer complete physical exams, counseling and classes in parenting, nutrition and more.
Services are provided on a sliding fee scale, though no one is refused care for inability to pay. This is the fourth Shalom clinic. The Roberts Park United Methodist Church clinic was recently closed due to the decreasing number of visitors. The Shalom Health Care Centers were honored as one the nation s top health-care alliances in 1998 by the Monroe E. Trout Premier Cares Award Competition.
