Health Conditions Focus: Meeting Lawrence County’s Needs

On August 6, NHCW spotlights the spectrum of care health centers provide National Health Center Week. At FMC:

• Chronic‐disease management in South Point keeps blood pressure and blood sugar in check.

• Preventive screenings at our Chesapeake clinic catch cancer early.

• Behavioral Health services in Nancy’s Place address depression, anxiety, and substance use.

• Dental cleanings at Proctorville protect smiles countywide.

Investing in Local Care
To maintain comprehensive services, Congress must:

• Extend funding beyond September 30.

• Recruit specialists—like dental hygienists and licensed counselors—to Lawrence County.
