A Survey: Your Health Care Needs

Here’s another boost to health care access: Dignity Health Yavapai Regional Medical Center would like to get a clearer picture of health care needs in the Weaver Mountains. We need your help to do this. Paper copies are available at the YRCC (and can be turned in there).

We have been happy to see so many residents taking advantage of the WickCare clinic each month (approx. 20 patients each day). If this response rate continues, we are hopeful that the mobile clinic can come a second time a month.

wisdom cannot reveal itself,
art cannot manifest,
strength cannot fight,
wealth becomes useless,
and intelligence cannot be applied.”
