Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations adjusted their practices and provided relief to people in need throughout their communities. Listerhill assisted these organizations by featuring them and donating $500 to their efforts! This article features Thrive Alabama.
Thrive Alabama provides many healthcare services in North Alabama, including COVID-19 testing for asymptomatic individuals during the pandemic for those who were exposed. Their mission was and is to "empower their patients to create a healthy community by providing compassionate, accessible, affordable, comprehensive care". In the Shoals, Thrive Alabama provides three major healthcare services which you can learn more about here.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Thrive Alabama continued to see patients via Telehealth (by phone and video) as well as in person when deemed necessary by providers. To protect staff they instituted strict measures regarding wearing face coverings, social distancing, and cleaning surfaces.
