The Behavioral Health (BH) Clinic serves both adults and children, covering a broad range of needs and disorders. The Surry County Health Foundation has been able to cover the cost appointments for multiple patients who desperately needed BH services, but could no afford them otherwise. Mental health was identified as a top health priority for the Health & Nutrition Center, and we were able to support them in their goal!

Both a clinic and a program, Communicable Disease (CD) nurses work to track, prevent, and treat reportable conditions. Reportable conditions are typically diseases and illnesses that are reported as outbreaks or have the potential for to cause an outbreak, causing widespread sickness and even death. Supporting this unit has enabled CD nurses to provide more treatment to patients in need.

Healthy mouths and pretty smiles go a long way in life. Dental complications can be both costly and painful, meaning that having access to a dental provider for both routine care and treatments are crucial. We are proud to say that our contributions have covered not only the care of those who wouldn't receive it otherwise, but we have also bridged funding gaps the clinic needed for essential equipment.

The future is more than just the children who will grow up in it; it is also the quality of life that parents can bring their child up in. Planning when to have a family and keeping everyone involved and healthy throughout the process can prevent generations of impact caused by health issues. The Foundation takes pride in having secured healthy, planned futures for multiple mothers and fathers within our community.

Perhaps the clinic we fund the most, immunizations dampen the needless spread of disease. By the dollar, immunizations & vaccines are drastically more cost effective than treating people who catch a virus or illness. They also routinely prevent disease, reduce the chance of catching an illness, and reduce the effects and severity if you do still get sick. We have put great efforts into making sure everyone can access vaccines to protect both themselves and the health of the public.

When you're sick, the last thing you want to do is wait for results and treatment, much less endure the cost. We have successfully made major investments into the capabilities of the in-house laboratory, thus reducing cost, time, and inefficiency associated with certain testing. Like the Immunization Clinic, the Lab backs all the other clinics for both adults and children.

The Primary Care Clinic (PCC) has, despite its great need, endured funding shortfalls over the years. Equipment needed to perform the highest quality of care for those who need it most was a simple but effective way of supporting this clinic. Better capabilities means better quality of care; better health and quality of life.
