Making a Difference in Rural Appalachia !
A project that is worth our support…
For people who live in rural areas, access to health care is often a challenge. Thanks to Dr. Mona Counts, Penn State University, and state funding for 2009, one area of Pennsylvania now has a mobile health clinic that goes directly to the people in need.
The mobile clinic is an extension of the Primary Care Center of Mt. Morris (PCC) which Counts co-founded in 1994. Four days a week, the mobile unit travels across Greene County (located south of Pittsburgh). The area is classified as “medically underserved” by the federal government.
