Ebeneezer Medical Outreach, Inc.
Ebenezer Medical Outreach (EMO), established by the Ebenezer Unite Methodist Church in 1986, began as a free medical clinic to aid community residents who have no medical insurance and little or no money to pay for medical care. In 1988, a grant secured by the Marshall University School of Nursing enabled the clinic to expand its hours and to bring in family nurse practitioner Laura Darby. The clinic was still volunteer run.
In 1995, the organization became a 501(c) (3) organization in order to receive primary care funding from the State Bureau for Public Health. The hours of the clinic increased to 32 per week with a physician or family nurse practitioner on duty. Upon suggestion from former Mayor Jean Dean, EMO moved into the old Douglass High School building to accommodate the growing organization.
EMO opened a dental clinic in 2005 and hired the first full-time, paid nurse practitioner. Currently, 27 medical providers donate 325 hours per month to the EMO patients.
