Mattie Rhodes partnership-The goal of this is a minute clinic type facility. Talks are in infancy stage as to

the set up, time and days involved. Also discussed is the possibility of

nursing students potentially signing up and maybe getting paid. There is a

potential services were vaccinations but more involved steps to make

sure this can happen. We will be many meetings for this and will keep the

group aware.
