We seriously need geriatric services locally. It is so diffcult to find a Dentist that will accept an elderly person with Medicaid coverage.

Not everyone can afford healthcare to begin with. Not everyone needs it. Seriously, the people working in the office worked hard for the degree they should not need to have to accept less or give charity. Especially in a town full of Meth heads where nearly everyone is to poor to support themselves. Not everyone should get first class benefits.

Health and Hope Clinic is serving a critical need in Century and the surrounding area.
They are providing free primary medical care to the our uninsured neighbors. The County should deed the building over to them or lease it for $1.00 a year. Commissioner Barry you need to make this happen! The North End deserves nothing less!

I may be wrong, but I recall when the health dept. closed in Century, where all my children rec’d mandated immunizations to attend public school, we were told the Molino office would be serving our community for their shots. Last time I tried to “schedule” an immunization at the Molino office, I was told they no longer give these and we would have to go to the Palafox office. Do you know how difficult that is for working parents?–and I know how the county, government, etc. loves working parents so we can pay taxes to keep the government programs running! Can I please at least have access to the government programs I’m paying for???? Please correct me-I’d love to be wrong!

Pretty simple,, Keep the north end of the county lean and hungry. It is all part of a plan that you will see. When the big machine called annexation rears its ugly head again and I assure you it will happen,the natives won’t be so hard to handle.. I would like to put them on notice, if they think the grease was hot the last time this encounter will be met with the wrath of a woman scorned.

….and on top of this, the building being left behind also houses the Health & Hope Clinic, a free medical clinic focused on primary care for the uninsured in Century and surrounding areas. There are conversations ongoing about what the county will do with the building, now that the dental side will not be used, that may affect Health & Hope Clinic! Hopefully the county keeps the building!!!
