Time is running out! Wednesday, September 30 is the last day to respond to the Census.

It’s quick, easy, confidential, and you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Just click here:

https://my2020census.gov/

Or call 844-330-2020

This is one of the most important things you can do for your community. Federal funding for critical services like fighting the wildfires that are blazing right now, school lunches for kids, services for seniors, and repairing our rough and potholed roads is determined by population. If they don’t know we’re here, they won’t know we need the money, and we won’t get it.

And it’s a lot of money. Each resident of Mendocino County is worth $1,000 in federal funding per year. Over the course of the 10 years until the next Census, that’s $10,000 per person. Based on an estimated county-wide population of 87,000 people, that’s almost a million dollars that could be brought back to our County to work for us.

So what are you waiting for? Call or click now! #2020census

It’s National Psychotherapy Day! We are proud of our team of dedicated and compassionate therapists. COVID-19 has caused a lot of fear and stress, and our Behavioral Health staff has stepped up to help our patients when they needed it most.

They seamlessly switched to telephone and video instead of in person visits, keeping the lines of communication open while keeping our patients safe. We have been caring for more patients in our Behavioral Health department since the pandemic began than we were before it hit.

If you need someone to talk to, we are here for you! Just give us a call at 961 3492 to make an appointment.

If you could make $10,000 in 10 minutes, would you do it?

Of course you would! That’s why you should respond to the Census.

Each and every one of us here in Mendocino County represents $1,000 a year in federal resources. The Census is only done every 10 years, so that means we can bring $10,000 per person back to our community.

Get your hard-earned tax dollars back and working for you, your family, and your neighbors. Federal resources are allocated based on population, and if they don’t know we’re here, we won’t get the money for important things that affect us all, like repairing our roads, educating our children, and fighting wildfires, like the Oak Fire and the August Complex Fire.

It’s never been easier to respond to the Census. You can do so on line:

https://my2020census.gov/

or by phone:

English: 844-330-2020
Spanish: 844-468-2020

It is completely confidential and your responses cannot be used against you in any way.

So what are you waiting for? Respond to the Census today, and help yourself, your family, and your community! #2020census

We have some good news and some bad news. First, the bad news…

Dr. Ben Housel, a much-loved provider, has announced his well-deserved retirement at the end of this year after nearly ten years at MCC and 40 years in emergency medicine. He will be missed very much by his patients and all of us who have had the pleasure to work with him. We hope Ben and his wife Nancy enjoy retirement and will continue to volunteer at our annual fundraising event.

Now for the good news!

We are delighted to announce that Nadege Nerette, Physician Assistant, will be starting work at MCC next week, and that Dr. Ahmad Shahzad will be here in September. For now, we have a 4 month agreement with him to give him time to make the decision on staying on as permanent staff. Fingers crossed!

Dr. Jennifer Kreger will be joining the MCC staff in early October and will be seeing the walk in clinic patients. Walk in clinic hours are 8:30 to 10:30 am on Thursdays and 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Fridays.

Welcome to these wonderful new providers! We are looking forward to working with you! #bestcareanywhere

We’ve got mail!

We are always glad to hear from our patients, especially when it’s a kind word for our hard-working, dedicated staff. Now more than ever, it’s nice to hear something happy!

Here’s an email we recently received from one of our patients:

Hello Clinic,

I wasn’t sure where to send this with the COVID and our new practices, but wanted to take a moment to send your medical people great kudos!

During these ever-changing uncertain times and everyone trying to be so mindful of not making others sick, we so appreciate you – your skill, your consciousness (knowing there is an emotional component to COVID-19, economic fallout, additional stressors, etc.), your positive attitudes, sensitivity, and your care!

I was seen by Doctor Gonzalez yesterday, Sandra was the MA. I totally appreciate how flexible you were with me about everything and how hard you worked to make the appointment happen! I only have a flip phone and Miriam got that! Thank you for understanding, Miriam! You are simply, all of you, drop down awesome.

Big virtual hugs, elbow bumps, smiles!!

Love,

N.

We are so pleased that N had such a good experience and took the time to tell us about it. #bestcareanywhere
