History
The City and Country Health Clinic (CCHC) was established in 1999 to provide primary outpatient care, basic medications, health education and referrals here at First Lutheran Church. The appointments are provided free of charge to the patients. Our thanks go out to the volunteer efforts of physicians, family nurse practitioners, nurses and receptionists who work at CCHC.
There are three paid staff members in addition to the volunteers. In addition, the clinic welcomes nursing students from Minot State University who serve their community health practicums at the clinic. Over 1100 patient visits were served in the past year.
Community Support
The clinic receives support from St. Joseph's Community Foundation, St. Joseph's Auxiliary, Verendyre Electric Cooperative Round-Up Grant, area congregations, service project groups, and First Lutheran Church Women and individuals. We also receive medication and medical supplies from individuals who no longer have need for them.
Pharmacies: White Drug, B & B Northwest, Keycard, Medicine Shoppe and Market Pharmacy fill our patients‚ subscriptions at $5 over cost.
Our nurse coordinators work with several drug companies to secure free medications for people who qualify for low income programs
Lab: The clinic is thankful to Trinity Hospital for providing free lab work for our clinic.
