Capstone Rural Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center, Has Served in This Area Since 2015 and Treats Patients From a Wide Geographical Reach. This Clinic Will Continue to Provide Medical Care, Pharmacy Services, Counseling Services, and Transportation in the Service Area.

Although Capstone Ensures That All Services Are Accessible to Everyone, This Location Presents Challenges. the New Facility Will Be a Single-level Structure and Will Include a 500-SQUARE-FOOT Pharmacy to Adequately Provide Space for 1 Pharmacist and 2 Pharmacy Technicians. the New Capstone-nauvoo Will Have the Capacity to Lower the Unmet Needs of the Low-income Population by Continuing Progress to Provide Integrated Care at the Nauvoo Facility. More Importantly, Capstone Rural Health Center Will Have the Infrastructure to Serve Nauvoo and North Ern Walker County for Years to Come. by Relocating the Current Service Site, Capstone Rural Health Center Is Able to Continue to Be a Resource for This Community to Better Serve This Isolated Section of Walker County.
