ABOUT MEDS Inc.
Welcome,
Dear Prospective Students, Families, and Friends:
MEDS Inc. has, for over fifteen years, provided quality and sacrificial health care services to address the medical needs of low-income and “at-risk” families. Our commitment to “treating whosoever has a need” no matter the costs or ability to pay, has transitioned into exceptional and extraordinary allied health education and training externship opportunities for local minority and elderly members, primarily of the Lake Charles, LA Houston, Austin and Bastrop, TX communities.
To continue the dream and foresight of Dr. Melvin Morris, founder and owner of M and M Family Medicine Clinic and Medical Director for MEDS Inc. (now deceased), it has been my pleasure to rally colleagues, community leaders and fiends committed to perpetuating his dream, in establishing the Dr. Melvin Morris Memorial Medical Action Program (DM4AP). This outstanding program is designed to not only educate and provide uniquely diverse clinical internship opportunities, but will establish continuing education and curriculum and instruction support for diverse academic, healthcare, and social service disciplines around the country and beyond.
We look forward to assisting the unemployed, underemployed, and disabled members where ever that need exists to transition from economic distress to economic success.
Sincerely,
​
​
Evelyn Morris, AMOA
President, Emeritus
​CFO, Board of Directors
