McClellanville, SC — September 16, 2024 — St. James Health and Wellness is proud to announce the launch of its Neighborhood Health Program, an innovative initiative designed to expand healthcare access and remove barriers for underserved communities across Georgetown, Berkeley, and Charleston counties. With a renewed focus on bringing essential healthcare services to the community, the program aims to empower individuals and families by meeting them where they are, both geographically and culturally.
At the heart of the Neighborhood Health Program is the introduction of a Mobile Health Unit, which will bring vital medical services directly to neighborhoods, schools, and community centers. This cutting-edge mobile clinic will provide access to primary care, mental health services, preventive screenings, and health education, ensuring that high-quality care is available to everyone, regardless of location or transportation limitations.
"Our goal is to eliminate the barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing the care they need," said Tamika Williams, Outreach Coordinator at St. James Health and Wellness. "The Neighborhood Health Program allows us to serve patients who might otherwise fall through the cracks while educating the community about health resources and promoting healthier lifestyles."
The Mobile Health Unit is equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and staffed by dedicated healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and mental health specialists. Patients can receive services such as routine checkups, vaccinations, health screenings, and chronic disease management. The mobile unit will also offer educational resources, from nutrition and fitness tips to mental health awareness, supporting a holistic approach to well-being.
Key Features of the Neighborhood Health Program:
Mobile Health Services: Bringing care directly to underserved areas.
Comprehensive Health Offerings: Including primary care, mental health, and preventive care.
Community Engagement: Collaborating with local organizations and hosting health events to raise awareness.
