Naloxone can be used when someone is showing signs of opioid overdose. It is a nasal spray, and like Epi-Pens or a first-aid kit, having Naloxone readily available can be very helpful in a crisis. It is not a toxic drug and cannot be used to get high. Naloxone will not cause overdose, so when in doubt, use it. This short video explains how Naloxone works.

To get your free Naloxone, call Safe RX Mendocino at (707) 456-3803 or email bourassab@mendocinocounty.org.

If we can act early when a person shows signs of an overdose, we can work quickly to help save a life.

Welcome to the week!

We will continue to do COVID testing Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. These are rapid tests, with results in 15 minutes. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, we are doing tests for people with no symptoms, and these are shipped out for processing. Results for these tests are usually available in 72 hours.

Please follow all traffic signage and instructions for the vaccine clinic on Tuesday, and please do not come early. This backs up traffic and makes for a longer wait for everyone. Thank you for your understanding.

Have a great week!

We are giving COVID vaccines from 3:00 to 5:00 pm every Tuesday to anyone aged 12 and up. If your child is under 12, call us to make an appointment for vaccination. Anyone under the age of 18 needs parental consent to receive a vaccine.

For testing and vaccines, just drive up to white tent at 205 South Street and we’ll take care of you. Have a great week!

This week we are celebrating National Dental Hygienists Week and our own Registered Dental Hygienist, Kim Celeri! Kim takes the #bestcareanywhere of our patients, keeping their smiles bright and healthy.

Dental hygienists are highly educated and skilled primary care providers. Oral health is deeply connected to our overall health, and your hygienist is in a unique position to assess changes in your overall health as well as your dental health. Thank you, Kim, for all you do for our patients!

Happy Doctors’ Day to MCC’s amazing team of doctors, many of whom provide unique services to our unique community, starting with our Medical Director, Dr. Lawrence Goldyn. Not only has Dr. Goldyn led us through the COVID-19 pandemic with good sense and scientific knowledge, he is also 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 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. 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

There will be no Walk In Clinic on Thursday, March 31 and Friday, April 1. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Want to take better care of your health without leaving the house? Now you can! MCC is excited to offer free, at-home high blood pressure monitoring for our patients.

If you are an MCC patient and your healthcare provider has advised you to take your blood pressure at home, or if you’d just like to keep an eye on it, we are here to help! Call us at (707) 964-1251 or email us at info@mccinc.org to set up an appointment, to get a free blood pressure monitor and learn how to use it. You will need to have a valid email address and be able to connect to your smart phone or tablet with Bluetooth. This will wirelessly deliver your blood pressure readings to a secure website. Being in a familiar setting like your home often leads to more accurate results than in a doctor’s office, where many of us can feel a little nervous. So why not give it a try?

It’s really easy, and a great way to monitor this very important vital sign from the comfort of your own home. #bestcareanywhere

There will be no Walk In Clinic on Thursday, March 24 and Friday, March 25. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are giving COVID vaccines from 3:00 to 5:00 pm on Tuesdays to anyone aged 12 and up. If your child is under 12, call us to make an appointment for vaccination. Anyone under the age of 18 needs parental consent to receive a vaccine.

Just drive on up to the tent at 205 South Street in Fort Bragg and we’ll take care of the rest. Have a good week!
