A connection between Mosaic Medical and MHS Students is building with the renovation of the Pediatric Health Clinic on MHS Campus underway. The Bend Bulletin reports that Mosaic Medical received $34,000 in May from the state to spruce up the recently opened clinic. Madras Construction students are working on two aspects of the clinic renovation: building a deck and a pergola just outside the small building. The first update took place in June, which was repainting the building to the High Schools colors. The plan is to have the renovations complete by mid-December. The clinic at Madras High is one of six school based health centers Mosiac operates and serves children from birth to 18, even when school is not in session. You also do not need to be enrolled at MHS or even in Jefferson County to seen at the Health Clinic. Tamarra Harris, who runs all of Mosaic’s pediatric clinics, says she believes once the renovation is finished, students will take pride in the refreshed clinic.
