SUMMARY: The community is celebrating the groundbreaking of a new Coastal Family Health Center and Pharmacy in Stone County. The $1.8 million development is aimed at providing quality and affordable healthcare to residents in the area, who previously had to travel to other facilities for medical services. The center will offer a sliding fee discount based on income and household size, ensuring access to all members of the community.
