A local clinic in Biloxi was awarded a $75,000 grant to help with its patients. The Bethel Free Health Clinic offers free primary care for those who are uninsured in the county with volunteer nurses and physicians on staff.
The Bethel Free Health Clinic in Biloxi, Mississippi, has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to enhance its mental health services. This funding will support the clinic's efforts to provide mental health care to uninsured and underinsured individuals in the community. The clinic, which has been operational for 15 years, primarily serves those who cannot afford health insurance, offering services like primary care, dental care, and now, with this grant, expanded mental health support. The grant aims to address the increasing need for mental health services, especially in light of recent challenges like the economic impacts of the global health crisis, which have exacerbated mental health issues among vulnerable populations.
