Skiff’s First Dose program receives funds

Skiff’s First Dose program recently received a generous donation from Jasper County Free Clinic. Jasper County Free Clinic operated in Newton for seven years and recently closed due to a decrease in attendance at the clinic. Funds remaining from the organization were donated to First Dose, a program operated by Skiff’s Social Services department, which assists Skiff patients to purchase their first dose of medication after being discharged from the hospital.

“We are so appreciative of this donation which will allow us to continue providing critical assistance to patients who need it,” said Lora Mattson, Skiff’s director of Social Services.
