Town Talk: St. Luke’s Community Clinic – A conversation with Nancy Rose & Kandice Strother – Mental Health

In this Town Talk, our publisher speaks with Nancy Rose, Outreach Specialist, and Kandice Strother, Mental Health Counselor from St. Luke’s Community Clinic in Front Royal.

Nancy and Kandice want to make the community aware of a recently added mental health service at the clinic. The impact of mental health on physical and social well-being is significant and affects many aspects of a person’s life. Mental health problems can lead to social isolation, strain on families, substance misuse, poor academic performance, reduced productivity at work, and physical illnesses. The prevalence of mental health issues makes addressing mental health a crucial aspect of your health goals.

St. Luke Community Clinic is a nonprofit, community-based organization of volunteers and professional staff committed to providing high-quality healthcare services to low-income, uninsured residents of Front Royal and Warren County, VA. St. Luke is a charitable-care clinic and charges a nominal fee for its services. The clinic provides chronic and acute care, but is not equipped to treat medical emergencies.
