OIC Leader Updates Mammogram Status

The Political Agitator’s response: The problem with this man Samuel Battle coming to the city council meetings is that he comes with half trues instead of doing his homework. Reuben Blackwell checked Battle and Battle said okay you explained that well. It makes no sense that the city council Black Leadership has to deal with some disgruntled angry White Folk but to have to deal with a Black Man who has teamed up with these White Folk is just a damn shame.

A man who frequently speaks at City Council regular meetings recently renewed his previous questioning about the status of mammogram equipment at the Opportunities Industrialization Center’s specialty care center at the Rocky Mount Event Center.

And this time, the speaker, Samuel Battle, received a more detailed update from Councilman Reuben Blackwell, who also is president and CEO of the OIC.

The OIC seeks to help provide residents with employment training and health care.

During the public input phase of the Dec. 14 council regular meeting, Battle approached the speaker’s podium to comment about a variety of topics.

While at the podium, Battle said, “I’m still worried about that machine that OIC got that ain’t up and running — and we’ve been talking about this for the last two years.”

Battle told Blackwell, “I don’t know what’s going on with that. We’ve still got people dying of COVID, cancer all over — but brother, it’s two years now. What’s going on?”

Blackwell told Battle the OIC has to work with nuclear physicists and has a partnership with Nash UNC Health Care and the hospital’s imaging and radiology unit. (Read more)
