CMC expanding essential healthcare services to Adair Co. From Bart Logsdon Community Medical Care (CMC), a long-standing nonprofit dedicated to providing healthcare support to seniors and working adults in need, is expanding its reach to Adair County. With the opening of its second remote office, CMC Adair, the organization aims to bring vital healthcare services and prescription assistance to qualified seniors and adults in Adair County, beginning in January 2025. For over 20 years, CMC has been a lifeline in Barren County, helping thousands access life-saving prescription medications and essential healthcare. Since joining the T.J. Community Mission Foundation (TJCMF) in 2022, CMC has furthered its mission to serve even more Kentuckians in need. After opening CMC Metcalfe in January 2024, CMC Adair is the next step in that journey, bringing essential resources to an underserved community and helping those who might otherwise go without crucial healthcare support. Through CMC Adair, qualifying Adair County residents, including seniors (65 and older), working adults (18-64), and adults aged 60-64 on disability, will have access to assistance with high prescription costs, dentures, hearing aids, and doctors' appointments with minimal co-pays. This new initiative will help reduce out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, easing the financial burden for individuals and families already struggling to make ends meet. For example, a 70-year-old resident with $300 in monthly out-of-pocket prescription costs could see that amount reduced to just $60, with the remainder covered by CMC at one of its partnering, local pharmacies. Beyond prescription aid, CMC Adair has already implemented the Breaking Barriers to Care program, providing transportation assistance and nutritional supplements for patients in T.J. Regional Health's Oncology program. These additional services are designed to address multiple barriers to healthcare access, bringing comfort and support to those battling critical health conditions. However, CMC Adair's success relies on the support of the Adair County community. CMC is actively seeking founding partners--local businesses, churches, families, and individuals--to step forward and join this mission. Donations and sponsorships will help ensure that Adair County residents have access to the care they need, close to home. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly impacts the lives of local seniors and adults, providing healthcare access and hope for those most in need. "We believe that healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation, and I am very excited to help bring this wonderful program to Adair County," said Randy Burns, Executive Director of TJCMF. "With the support of our community, we can make this vision a reality and bring these essential services to those who need them most." Interested parties can contact Tina Combs, CMC Program Coordinator at cmc@tjsamson.org or 270-659-0229 for more information about becoming a founding partner and contributing to CMC Adair's mission, or visit tjcmf.org. About the T.J. Community Mission Foundation Established in 2014, the T.J. Community Mission Foundation (TJCMF) is celebrating 10 years of building healthier communities. The TJCMF supports capital projects, community engagement programs and other projects that aid in accomplishing T.J. Regional Health's goal of improving the health of the residents of southcentral Kentucky. By creating partnerships with employees, business leaders, social groups and families, we will further advance excellence in healthcare to those we serve in this region.
