SKOWHEGAN — Hight Family of Dealerships and Redington Fairview General Hospital have teamed up to provide community vaccination clinic on Friday, Sept. 17. The public may stop by 250 Madison Ave., the new Hight Protection building, to get a vaccination.
The clinic at Hight will be open from 11:30 a.m to 1:30 p.m.
“Our commitment to our community goes beyond providing fair prices and best in class service on vehicles to our customers,” said Sam Hight, dealer principal at Hight Ford, and RGGH board member. “It also includes our universal focus on keeping our local area vibrant and in the best position to succeed. The success of our community rests in the hands of its people. Success can be measured not only by the economy, household income and jobs but literally the health and safety of our community.”
Recently RFGH has hosted vaccination clinics at the Skowhegan State Fair and the Skowhegan Brew Fest, with close to three dozen people getting vaccinated.
“Redington-Fairview is excited to partner with Hight Ford to provide this pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic. Getting your COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to avoid severe illness, hospitalization, and even death from the COVID-19 virus,” said Lisa Caswell Director of Pharmacy at RFGH.
In April, Hight Family of Dealerships donated a 6,0000-square-foot space in Skowhegan for RFGH to host a vaccination clinic. “By partnering with RFGH again to provide a vaccine location, we hope to allow people that want to be better protected and better protect their loved ones, coworkers and neighbors a better ease of access and equality of care,” said Hight. “Politics, news media, and opinion aside, whether you believe in the vaccine or not, we felt it paramount to assist our local health care providers administer a proven method to reduce the spread of COVID-19.”
RFGH also hosts a weekly walk-in vaccination clinic every Thursday from 3:30-5:00pm at the RFGH parking lot.
