Hundreds received their COVID-19 vaccine from Three Rivers Public Health Department, Methodist Fremont Health and Methodist Physicians Clinic at their first weekly drive Thursday.
âAll of the individuals that I spoke to were so appreciative, thankful, emotional about getting the vaccine,â Methodist Fremont Health President and CEO Brett Richmond said. âAnd for us, that was just a really neat experience. I think we all felt really honored and privileged to be a part of that and to help our community in that way this morning.â
