Stanton Road Clinic: Bundling You with Care

The University of South Alabama Stanton Road Clinic is hosting a coat drive through Dec. 15. New or gently used coats, gloves, hats and scarves are being accepted.

Ali Shropshire, family medicine practitioner and nurse manager at Stanton Road Clinic, said the goal of the drive is to collect enough coats to create a coat closet at the clinic. She credits Robin Geary, the internal medicine nurse supervisor at Stanton Road Clinic, for coming up with the idea.

“The staff and management of Stanton Road Clinic wants to be more than just a clinic," Shropshire said. "We want to serve as a medical home to meet all of our patients' needs. If we can't meet their needs within the walls of the clinic, then we will utilize community resources to help.”
Items may be dropped off at the Stanton Road Clinic, the nursing administration office at USA Medical Center, the second-floor break room at the Strada Patient Care Center or the Mastin Professional Building, Suite 102.

The Stanton Road Clinic will be hosting a health fair in early 2018 that will also provide community members with coats.
