Delta Medical Foundation strengthens primary care access in Marks, Quitman County

Delta Medical Foundation runs primary care clinics based in Marks that serve the town and surrounding Quitman County communities. Its Family Medical Center is located at 1024 Martin Luther King Drive, Marks, MS 38646, and the Foundation also operates the Warrington Clinic as part of efforts to expand local access to health care.

The clinic lists practicing providers who see patients at the Marks location, including Richard E. Waller, M.D., Lonnie Moore NP C, Courtney Fortner NP C, and Whitney Young NP C among others. Contact phones for appointments or questions are (662) 326 3502 and (662) 326 3500. The Family Medical Center publishes typical clinic hours Monday through Friday with posted clinic times and provides routine primary care, expanded chronic disease management, and diabetes infusion services.

Delta Medical Foundation participates in rural health clinic certification and is applying to be a National Health Service Corps site. The Foundation states commitments to serve all patients and to offer discounted fees for those who qualify, and it maintains charity care and discount policies for eligible patients. Those program elements are intended to reduce barriers to care for residents who lack insurance or face financial hardship.

For Quitman County residents, the Foundation's services influence where families receive regular checkups, medication management, and care for chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. The presence of local providers and advertised hours can reduce travel time for routine visits and urgent concerns, and participation in federal programs like the National Health Service Corps can help sustain clinician staffing in a rural setting.

As community health needs evolve, the Foundation's combination of in town clinics, chronic disease services, charity care options, and formal participation in rural health certification shapes local access to primary care. Residents seeking care, appointments, or details about sliding fee eligibility may use the clinic address or call the posted phone numbers to confirm hours and services.
