Community Notes
The annual Mineral Community Hospital Health Fair is Saturday, May 12, with vendors who are excited to share their services to Mineral County. There will be live demonstration of telemedicine between Providence St. Patrick Hospital and Mineral Community Hospital. This has become, literally, a life saver for patients in rural settings. The tele stroke equipment at Mineral Community Hospital has made a significant difference for several patients this year alone. Partnership Health Center-Mineral County will have their dentist on hand because many residents aren’t even aware that dentistry exists here anymore.
Women’s and Children’s Care along with diabetes education will be at Community Medical Centers display. The MCH Hospital Hikers kick off their exciting season plus Bone & Joint will be at this event along with others who have health care services that they will bring to Mineral County residents. There is also information regarding special lab draws. Many attend this event for the door prizes and this year looks to be one of the largest when it comes to variety from all of the different contributors.
