Contributing to a healthier community in Wilkes County, North Carolina
We bring quality health care close to home through charitable giving.
The MESH bus travels to area high schools and provides free medical care.
Mobile Expanded School Health (MESH)
Students in area high schools have free access to medical care thanks to our generous contributors. Like a "doctor's office on wheels," kids can get the medical attention they need to stay healthy without ever leaving school.
Fun. Friendly. Safe. Medically monitored.
When medical problems prevent your loved one from staying home alone during the day, consider the advantages of The Ruby Pardue Blackburn Adult Day Health Care Center. Participants get to do all the things they love while making new friends. The center was made possible through a major capital campaign conducted by The Health Foundation. It is conveniently located at West Park, in the rear of the old Sky City building.
Kim Bridgeman is the program's director. For more information, contact the center at 336 667 2541 or visit their website at www.wilkesadultdaycare.org.
They even offer FREE trial visits!
There's always something fun in the sun during a visit to The Ruby Pardue Blackburn Adult Day Health Care Center.
