The Medical Center of Peach County Supports Fort Valley's Free Medical Clinic 

BYRON, GA (Wednesday, October 2, 2013) – The Medical Center of Peach County (MCPC) will present a donation of $50,000 on Friday, October 4 at 1:30 p.m.to the Feed Center's free medical clinic, a division of the Feed Center Outreach Ministries in Fort Valley. The donation will take place in MCPC's boardroom, at 1960 Highway 247 Connector in Byron. This is not a public event, but media are invited to attend.

The donation, made possible through a grant from The Medcen Community Health Foundation in Macon, is intended to increase access to healthcare for the uninsured in Peach County and the surrounding area.

“The Medical Center of Peach County applauds the work done at the Feed Center's free medical clinic, and we are excited about the opportunity to support their mission. It is vitally important that healthcare organizations within a community work together and constantly look for ways to better manage the health of its citizens,” said Nancy Peed, CEO of MCPC.

The Feed Center's free medical clinic is a non-profit facility providing free medical care to working uninsured citizens in Peach and the surrounding counties. The physicians, clinicians and administrative personnel volunteer their time to provide non-emergency primary care services two evenings per month. The clinic depends on donations in order to provide quality medical care at no cost to those who have no other resources for healthcare.
