Frontier Health receives check for walk-in center renovations, therapy for Helene victims
BRISTOL, Tenn. (WJHL) — Food City presented Frontier Health with a significant check on Thursday.
Kristie Hammonds, president and CEO at Frontier Health, said the partnership with Food City started years ago. On Thursday, Food City presented Frontier Health with a check for $50,000.
'So, our partnership with Food City started many, many, many moons ago when we actually started working with them on employing some individuals that we serve,' Hammonds said. 'And so it's evolved over the last several years as we've grown to know each other, and they have started to really look at investing back in some of the services that we provide, i.e., which led to the check presentation today.'

Hammonds said the money will be divided into two ways: $25,000 will support Frontier Health's 24-hour Crisis Walk-In Center that is currently under renovation, and $25,00 will be used to support those affected by Hurricane Helene.
She said the services regarding Hurricane Helene will focus on mental health.
'So if they have a need for therapy or just to sit down and talk with someone, they can seek services at Frontier Help free of charge,' Hammonds said.
Hammonds said the Walk-In Center hopes to reopen in July.
