Minor medical care available at market
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, October 18, 2005
At the Market — Cornerstone Health Care providers are continuing to provide free minor medical care to market visitors, in cooperation with High Point Regional Health System and the International Home Furnishings Market Authority.
Care will be provided from the hospital's HOPE Unit on Wrenn Street behind the Radisson Hotel, said Dr. James C. Anderson, vice president of Cornerstone Health Care and founder and manager of the project.
Cornerstone medical providers will man the 44-foot-long, bus-like health care facility from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., to-day through Tuesday, Oct. 25. The minor medical care program was introduced in October 2003, and the number of patients treated has increased each market.
Dr. Grace E. Terrell, president of Cornerstone, said the biannual contribution of personnel, medications and supplies by the physician group is a tangible way that the company, which is among the top 10 employers in High Point, shows its support of the market.
"Market is important to every one of us, and I encourage other business leaders in the Triad to explore ways they may use their company assets to make High Point the best experience it can be for our visitors," Terrell said.
Judy Mendenhall, president of the Market Authority, said marketgoers appreciate the service.
"We are pleased with the positive feedback we have received about the free convenient care made available to our out-of-town visitors by Cornerstone Health Care and High Point Regional Health System," she said.
Among the minor conditions the medical care providers are prepared to treat are headache, cough, earache, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, sinusitis, stomach ache, conjunctivitis, bladder infection and allergy symptoms.
