Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) is strengthening its efforts to address mental health challenges in rural communities with the addition of Dina Irwin, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, to the MRHC Specialty Clinic. Irwin is now offering virtual appointments on the first and third Mondays every month to diagnose and treat mental health disorders.
