Serving People For The Glory of Christ
The
purpose of the Compassion Outreach Center is to share the compassionate
love of Jesus Christ for those in need of limited chronic care but have
no medical insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid and reside within Pontotoc
County. We are open twice a month, every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from 5:00p.m. to 9p.m. It was created in response to the growing problem of uninsured
Americans. Reports indicated that 19.9 percent of all Oklahomans have
no health insurance. Within our county alone that translates into
about 6,892 patients. At our present patient load it would take us
about 19 years to treat this group, but with God’s grace He has
provided an ample supply of medical providers, nurses, pharmacist,
licensed counselors, social workers, staff members and prayer
encourages that are beginning to make a difference throughout this
county! Last year we saw 1,500 patients and dispensed over 5,000
prescriptions! We Are Always In Need of Volunteers! If you come from a medical or dental background and would like to help, we definitely need you! We also need compassionate volunteers to help with the
registration team, prayer encourager team, cleanup team, clothing
closet team, food preparation team, administrative assistant team and
special events team-like the Mega Garage Sale Team!
