Project Concern suspends Mercedes clinic plan in Texas border area
The Project Concern board voted to halt efforts to establish a medical and dental clinic in Mercedes Hidalgo County Texas citing licensing and recruiting problems. Cronk said 70 000 migrant workers in the area have limited care with only two physicians and no dental service. Future plans are undetermined as the leased facility may be offered to other groups until the organization can resume services.
