2026 Laughter Is The Best Medicine

Join the Presbyterian Medical Care Mission for our 3rd Laughter is the Best Medicine, an evening of great food, plenty of laughs, and an opportunity to support a new chapter in PMCM’s service to our community.

This year’s event is centered entirely around the Presbyterian Dental Care Mission—our initiative to bring dental services back to PMCM for low-income and uninsured adults in the Abilene area.

PMCM previously provided dental care alongside our medical services, and we are excited to begin rebuilding that program through a locally supported, volunteer-led model. Our initial focus will be on dental consultations and extractions, helping address an important need among the patients and families we serve.

Please join us for an evening of laughs and support of this much-needed community initiative!
