On Wednesday evening King’s Daughters Medical Center announced that it will receive a major grant from Bon Secours Mercy Health to allow programs formerly offered by Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital to continue.

King’s Daughters Medical Center says they will receive $701,328 during the next three years to cover the cost of Meals on Wheels (serving the Bellefonte, Flatwoods, Russell and Westwood areas), the Ironton Community Garden and the OLBH Transportation Ministry.

King’s Daughters Medical Center says they will administer the programs and develop plans to ensure their sustainability after the three-year grant period, which transitioned into their system on May 4.
