Sierra Mobile Clinic Temporarily Out of Service |
|
|
“Dr. Brandt’s resignation is a huge loss for the Mobile Clinic,” said Marshall Medical primary care director Rick Vance. "She has done a great job of caring for the under served population in this county and they will truly miss her. We can’t say enough about her efforts on the Mobile Clinic these past two years. ”Vance said the big problem now is to try and replace her. “It would take us several months to recruit, hire and credential a new physician for the clinic,” Vance added. “At this time, we have decided to try and reduce the time that this population would have limited care by coordinating the Mobile Clinic with the El Dorado Community Health Center. They believe they might be able to have a practitioner providing care on the Mobile Clinic sometime in January. We are looking into having the Mobile Clinic operate at the future site of the Community Health Center off of Missouri Flat Road in Placerville. The El Dorado Community Health Center, a nonprofit primary care center funded by the tobacco lawsuit funds, is scheduled to open in March or April of this year and will be a wonderful facility where these patients can get the care they need.” Dr. Brandt will continue to see patients on the Mobile Clinic at its usual locations until November 26, 2002. Until the Community Health Clinic starts operating the Mobile Clinic again, patients are encouraged to seek care at the Divide Wellness Center, 6065 Highway 193, Georgetown, (530) 333 - 2548. |
