Nacogdoches Medical Center helps sponsor Vaccine Clinic August 12 offering chance to win free beef, pork, chicken from Pilgrim’s Pride for a year
August 11, 2021 – With COVID hospitalizations rapidly increasing in East Texas, Nacogdoches Medical Center is urging the community to roll up their sleeves and receive the COVID vaccine to protect themselves, their loved ones and the community. In an effort to encourage the community to get vaccinated, Nacogdoches Medical Center leaders have teamed up with Pilgrim’s Pride, Stephen F. Austin State University School of Nursing, the City and County of Nacogdoches and JBS Foods to sponsor a Vaccine Clinic where attendees can get a chance at winning free meat (beef, pork and chicken) for an entire year.
What: COVID Vaccine Clinic with chance to win FREE meat for a year
When: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday, August 12, 2021
Where: C.L. Simon Recreation Center, 1112 North Street, Nacogdoches, TX 75961
Any unvaccinated person 21 years of age or older who gets their first vaccine at the August 12 clinic or any JBS USA or Pilgrim’s-sponsored vaccination clinic is eligible for the chance to win free beef, pork and chicken for the next year.
Jeff Patterson, CEO of Nacogdoches Medical Center, said he is proud the hospital can be a part of an event that will help keep their community safe.
“As a community built on care, our hospital’s No. 1 priority is the health and safety of our patients and our citizens,” Patterson said. “Science shows that the vaccines in the U.S. can help save lives and prevent severe illness and hospitalization,” he said. “This vaccine clinic is a unique and fun opportunity to help keep people safe but also possibly send someone home with what could make many nutritious meals for a whole year. Together, with our partners, we are working to keep our community strong and healthy,” Patterson added.
