We want to recognize Eastland Health Clinic for something that matters deeply in a rural community: helping people beyond the walls of the exam room.
We have heard stories directly from our own clients about the clinic going above and beyond to help seniors locate resources and connect with additional assistance when they needed it. That kind of effort can make an enormous difference for an older adult or caregiver who simply doesn’t know where to turn next.
