MCC’s Nurse Manager, Maria Bermudez, advises blood donors to hydrate well before donating blood, eat a salty snack the day before donating to help keep blood pressure normal, and to remember to bring your ID with you. Thank you to all for donating!

On today’s episode of #onething, MCC’s Registered Dietitian Susie Macias talks about the importance of water to our health.

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

It may be a short week here at MCC, but we are making it count! We’re jumping into the last week of the year with extra walk in clinic slots and COVID vaccines and testing.

We will have an extra walk in clinic on the morning of Tuesday, December 27, starting at 8:45 am. We will be giving COVID vaccines under the tent from 2:00 to 5:00 that day.

COVID testing is available under the tent Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Just drive up and we’ll take care of you.

Just a reminder that we will be closed on Monday, January 2, but we’ll be back in action on Tuesday, January 3 with COVID vaccines and testing. Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year!

September 25 is National Psychotherapy Day! We are proud of our team of dedicated and compassionate therapists, who have helped our patients through COVID and beyond. Remember, counseling/therapy isn’t just for times when life seems tough….it can be preventive in nature, too. It can help you learn more about yourself, your relationships, and your visions for your life.

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