Patients, medical professionals, and supporters gathered Monday morning for a reception marking the 25th anniversary of the Mountain Home Christian Clinic’s mission to serve its community.
With over 50 in attendance at the Wade Street home for the clinic, visitors gathered in the main hall for a time of speeches, refreshments, and cake. Some lucky participants were even drawn for raffles. Community members took time to share heartfelt stories of how the clinic had impacted their lives.
Dan Melton shared with KTLO News how he and his wife were early visitors of the clinic when it opened in 2000.

A group rendition of the song “This Is the Day” was sung, and a round of applause was given in honor of founding member Dr. Paul Wilbur, who originally had hoped to see the clinic last at least three years.
