About Us

​     Since its founding in 2004, the Compassion Outreach Center has been providing medical, pharmaceutical, dental, and vision services for residents of Pontotoc County who do not have health insurance or alternative access to healthcare.

     The Center is a non-profit organization financially supported by a variety of sources including monetary and in-kind contributions as well as grant funding. It is guided by a Board of Directors comprised of nine members of the community. 

​     We are currently undergoing an extensive renovation that will allow us to expand our in-house care to include select dental services and more!

​We can't wait to show you what we have planned!

     More than 30 practitioners across many specialties volunteer their services for more than 1,200 patient visits every year! That means our Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants, optometrists, dentists, dermatologists, pharmacists, and counselors volunteer more than 1,400 to provide care for our patients!
