2024 is bringing good news for wellness in Poolesville. After much time and effort, WUMCO has received a commitment from Montgomery County that county-supported health services will be returning to the Poolesville area for the first time since the 1980’s! The County will be sending a mobile clinic staff and offering free health screenings, behavioral health consultations, and linkages to social service resources. Their first clinic will be held on Thursday, January 19 from 10am-6pm at the WUMCO building. (17821 Elgin Rd.) Spanish speaking staff will be available.
Appointments available. Walk-ins welcome!
(Call 301-972-8481 x 7 to request an appointment by leaving your name and phone number and specifying that you are interested in the County Health Clinic.)
