Mansfield Clinic Joins with Grace Episcopal Food Bank to Provide Free Healthcare Services
Third Street Family Health Services will work with a local church to provide greater access to health care.
Starting Thursday, visitors to Grace Episcopal Church’s food bank can receive free screenings, according to a news release from Third Street.
Third Street, a network of community health centers headquartered in Mansfield, will screen for HIV, hepatitis C, blood pressure, and substance use disorder. The rapid testing will be available the fourth Thursday of each month from 9-11 a.m.
Screenings can detect conditions that are commonly linked to chronic diseases such as hypertension and liver disease. When these conditions are detected early, preventive measures and medical care can be initiated early to prevent disease complications.
