Melham Medical Center is asking all community members for help. Our staff at Melham is dedicated to helping you when you are in need of medical care. The only way that we can do that is if we are healthy enough to do so. We are asking that you please stay home. With COVID-19 now confirmed in our county, we want to remind the community to stay home as much as possible and reduce outings for only essential needs. The virus can be spread without showing symptoms.
