Bethesda Community Clinic Mobile Testing Unit Assists With COVID-19 Testing Last spring, using funding from the CARES Act, the Board of Commissioners provided $175,000 to Bethesda Community Clinic (BCC) for the purchase of a mobile testing unit to assist with COVID-19 testing in Cherokee County. In addition to COVID-19 testing, the mobile testing unit will also provide services for routine physicals, health screenings, health education, women’s exams, and chronic care. “This year alone, Bethesda has treated nearly 5,000 patients, up from 3,300 in 2019, and has also distributed over $4 million in free medications using the Patient Assistance Program,” said BCC’s Executive Director Melissa Belfried.BCC is also working with the Cherokee County School District, food pantries, and churches to make the mobile testing unit available to families who are uninsured and in need of medical care. BCC is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Canton, that is dedicated to providing quality, affordable health care services to Cherokee County uninsured and under-insured citizens.
