The OMMC Team is made up of volunteers that selflessly give their time back to the community by providing pro bono services to uninsured workers in Lafayette and Yalobusha counties. Without their commitments our clinic would not be here today. Thank you to all of the volunteers that give of their time and knowledge to the people of our community. Here are some things the volunteers are saying: "You get so much more back. The patients are ideal.... they are appreciative. And you are offering them what every human being has a right to - basic medical care" Wanda Ikeda, Volunteer Nurse Practitioner |
