MHC operates with a flat-fee structure, offering both à la carte services and comprehensive concierge plans that include unlimited telehealth and in-home visits for individuals and families. Services range from same-day treatment for illnesses such as cold and flu, strep throat, and ear or eye infections to sprains and strains.

NEWS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Ben Pement is seeking approval from the city of Vestavia Hills to put a New Day Car Wash at 2534 Rocky Ridge Road, directly north of the Publix shopping center, and a Bullet coffee shop at 2530 Rocky Ridge Road. The car wash would be owned and run by LIV Development, while the coffee shop is proposed to be developed by John Benner at GenRev Properties. The new development on 2.4 acres would replace an office building. The cases initially were set to be heard at the April 9 meeting of the Vestavia Hills Planning and Zoning Commission, but the developers asked for a continuance to allow them time to meet with nearby residents and attempt to address concerns. The city received at least 75 communications from nearby residents opposed to the proposed redevelopment. A community meeting was set for April 27 at the Vestavia Hills Civic Center. As of mid-April, no new hearing date had been set for the case with the zoning board.
Russ Doyle is seeking approval from the city of Vestavia Hills to rezone .65 acres at 3119 Timberlake Road from an R-1 low-density residential district to an O-1 office park district for the purpose of adding a two-story, 8,600-square-foot office building. The new office building would tie into an existing office park that already contains five other buildings, according to plans submitted to the city. The office park currently has 140 spaces. Five more parking spaces would be added to the existing park, and 25 spaces would be added on the additional lot with the new building, for a total of 170 spaces upon completion, plans show. The Vestavia Hills Planning and Zoning Commission on April 9 recommended approval of the request, and now the case is set to be heard by the Vestavia Hills City Council on May 4.
