JACKSON, Miss., July 2, 2024 – The MolinaCares Accord, in collaboration with Molina Healthcare of Mississippi, recently donated $75,000 to the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Nursing in support of mobile clinics designed to bring health care to the community via school-based clinics that typically close during the summer months.
“At Molina, we are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of individuals across the state,” said Bridget Galatas, plan president of Molina Healthcare of Mississippi. “We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Nursing in providing families across the Jackson and the Mississippi Delta regions with access to critical health care services during the summer months when school-based clinics are closed.”
The mobile unit will not only offer vital physical and mental health care services, but also important health education and telehealth support.
“We want to equip families in our communities with the services and resources they need to thrive,” said Galatas.
