Grove Park Pharmacy, Home Medical and Hospice help tRMC promote Tri-County Health Ministry
On Thursday June 21, local churches in the Denmark area gathered at Progressive Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ to learn how to implement their own health ministry programs. Each church attending received scales and glucometers from TRMC, as well as a blood pressure cuff donated by Grove Park Pharmacy, Medical Equipment and Hospice Care. A great way to begin a healthier way of living!
