In commenting about her service, Mrs. Bonnie Carter said, “I know MCHC’s busy clinics provide medical care, dental and counseling services for many County residents.

I believe MCHC is making such a contribution, and I am honored to participate.” Mr. Cyril Colonius said, “I share MCHC’s interest in meeting the needs of underserved communities.
