“Muncie Community Schools and Meridian Health Services have a long history of collaborations that meet the students where they are – for instance the Meridian School-Based Health Clinic at Southside. This event is no different,” shared Beth Clark, VP of Marketing and Fund Development at Meridian Health Services. “By expanding access to these vital services, we are improving lives in our community.”
