Happy Doctors’ Day to MCC’s amazing team of doctors, starting with our Medical Director, Dr. Lawrence Goldyn, who is the only HIV/AIDS specialist in the entire County, traveling far and wide to provide this important service.

Dr. Chris Robshaw is the only pediatrician on the Mendocino Coast, taking the #bestcareanywhere of our community’s children from birth into the teenage years.

Dr. Barbara Kilian provides LGBTQ+ services through her Open Door clinic, the only service like this on our Coast.

Dr. Jennifer Kreger sees patients in our Walk In Clinic on Thursday mornings and Friday afternoons, making sure that patients who need to be seen right away get expert care when they need it. She and her husband, Dr. Wade Gray, are also active in helping our rural community to be better prepared for natural and man-made disasters through their work with Hubs and Routes. In addition to primary care services, Dr. Gray is also licensed to provide Suboxone services to patients with opioid use disorder.

On Doctors’ Day and every day, MCC is proud to have such an outstanding group of doctors dedicated to caring for our community. Happy Doctors’ Day to the best doctors anywhere! #DoctorsDay #bestcareanywhere #TeamMCC

Did you know? There’s a Little Free Library at MCC’s pediatrics office on Cypress Street, filled with free books for your little ones to take home. They can bring them back when they’re finished reading them, or pass along books they’d like to share. Read all about it here, and check it out the next time you’re there!

March is National Nutrition Month, and MCC’s Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Susana Macias, has some ideas on how you can eat more healthily and sustainably. Read the article here.

We’re getting a much-needed break between storms, and this sunshiny day is the perfect time to head to the Fort Bragg & Mendocino Certified Farmers Markets at Laurel and Franklin Streets in the heart of downtown Fort Bragg. You’ll find fresh local produce and other homegrown delights to take home with you. The Market starts at 2:00 pm on Wednesdays.

If you’re a CalFresh recipient, you can double your EBT benefits, up to $30. That’s a lot of fabulous fruit and veggies. Read more about the Market Match here.

Wondering if you qualify for CalFresh? You can apply online here, or call us at (707) 961-3478 to make an appointment with one of our Patient Advocates, who can help you apply for CalFresh and other state and federal programs.

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, and we’ll see you at the Market!
