MidState Medical Center - Geriatric Outreach Program
This program, held in collaboration with four area senior centers, provides accessible health monitoring services to seniors via regularly scheduled clinics and other initiatives. The senior centers provide the critical physical space necessary to see patients, as well as a communications outlet to let seniors know that these services are available to them in an accessible and targeted location. Seniors are able to get basic health screenings and appropriate consultation on health issues.
