(WMC-TV) - The Frayser Neighborhood Council hosted its first ever Health Care Summit, in an effort to come up with some ideas to improve health care within the community.

"Everyone always wants to talk down on Frayser," said Frayser Neighborhood Council health subcommittee vice-chair Johnnie Hatten, who wants people to stop talking about the community's problems and start taking action to solve them instead.

The Frayser Neighborhood Council invited representatives from agencies across the Mid-South to list and talk with residents about their needs -- needs that organizers say could transform the community.

"Some of them include a 24-hour clinic, immediate care, or some type of clinic we can access 24 hours. We want our own health department here in Frayser with a WIC office," said Hatten. "And then we want some best practices. That's gonna decrease the number of infant mortality here in Frayser."
