In the spirit of service and community wellness, Telecast Media, Benefits Solutions Group, and United Healthcare have joined forces to present a special event honoring the life-changing work of Memphis Health Center. On Saturday, November 1st, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, the community is invited to attend a Free Health Clinic at Southbrook Mall, 1212 E. Shelby Drive, Memphis, TN 38116 — an event dedicated to celebrating access, equity, and compassion in healthcare.
The initiative, titled “Telecast Media Salutes Memphis Health Centers,” represents a powerful collaboration between healthcare providers, media leaders, and community advocates working to make wellness accessible to all. The free clinic will offer attendees a variety of services, including health screenings, wellness consultations, and information on preventive care. Designed to serve families, seniors, and individuals in need, the event underscores the commitment of its sponsors and partners to bridge the gap between quality healthcare and community access.
Memphis Health Center has been a pillar of strength and service for over five decades. Known for its deep commitment to improving health outcomes for underserved populations, the organization has long been at the forefront of addressing health disparities in the Mid-South. Their mission goes beyond treatment — it’s about education, prevention, and empowerment. This free health clinic is an extension of that mission, reaching directly into the community to meet people where they are.
“We are excited to honor Memphis Health Center for its outstanding service and dedication,” said Michael Dockery, founder of Telecast Media and producer of the event. “This clinic isn’t just about providing care for a day — it’s about opening doors to ongoing wellness, education, and community connection.”
United Healthcare, one of the nation’s leading health providers, brings its extensive network and resources to the partnership, ensuring attendees receive high-quality guidance and screenings. Benefits Solutions Group, known for its focus on employee wellness and benefits access, adds another layer of support — connecting attendees with information about health insurance options, coverage education, and resources to navigate the healthcare system effectively.
Among the featured partners is FirstLine, an organization dedicated to promoting preventive care and lifestyle-based health solutions. Together with Memphis Health Center, these partners represent a united front committed to helping the community take control of its health in a meaningful way.
The event will also highlight the involvement of Dr. Telisa Franklin, a Memphis leader whose outreach efforts continue to inspire community engagement and empowerment. Dr. Franklin’s dedication to uplifting families through health education and faith-based initiatives adds an essential spiritual and emotional dimension to the clinic’s mission.
Also lending support is Breedlove Films & Music, led by a team that specializes in storytelling and creative media production. Their role in documenting and amplifying the event helps ensures that the message of health and hope reaches audiences beyond the physical space — spreading awareness through powerful visual storytelling.
Another key supporter, Guidance Films & Music, will contribute to the event’s media coverage and promotion, continuing its legacy of community-focused media that educates and uplifts. These creative partners play a crucial role in transforming this event from a local gathering into a movement of awareness and impact.
As the date approaches, excitement continues to build among Memphis residents eager to participate in the clinic’s offerings. Free community events like this one are more than acts of service — they are lifelines for families struggling with medical costs, lack of insurance, or limited access to providers. The organizers aim to make sure that no one is left behind when it comes to their health and well-being.
Attendees can expect a welcoming environment staffed by professionals and volunteers ready to provide screenings, answer questions, and connect individuals to essential resources. The Free Health Clinic will include opportunities for blood pressure checks, glucose testing, wellness advice, and guidance on maintaining healthy lifestyles. Beyond medical services, the event will also serve as an information hub, helping residents learn more about ongoing programs offered by Memphis Health Center and its partners.
This collaboration between Telecast Media, Benefits Solutions Group, United Healthcare, and Memphis Health Center is more than an event; it’s a demonstration of what can happen when media, medicine, and mission align. Together, they’re sending a message that health is not a privilege; it’s a right for every member of the community.

For Michael Dockery and his team at Telecast Media, the initiative represents another step in using media influence for positive change. Dockery, who has built a reputation for bridging entertainment and social impact through projects like the Stomp the City Iconic Awards, views this clinic as part of a broader effort to elevate Memphis through purpose-driven partnerships.
“Media has the power to shape culture, and we’re using that power to uplift,” Dockery shared. “When people see that organizations like Memphis Health Center, United Healthcare, and our creative teams are working together, it inspires hope. It shows that progress isn’t just possible, it’s happening.
The event also reinforces the role of Memphis Health Center as a community cornerstone. For over 50 years, it has provided not only medical care but also compassion and understanding to those facing the toughest circumstances. From prenatal services to senior care, the center has served generations, adapting to new challenges while maintaining the same core values of dignity, access, and equity.
As the day of the event approaches, the call to the community is simple but powerful: show up, take care, and spread the word. The Free Health Clinic at Southbrook Mall is an open invitation to everyone to receive a chance to receive care, connect with resources, and celebrate organizations working tirelessly to make Memphis stronger and healthier.
On Saturday, November 1st, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Southbrook Mall will become more than a shopping destination; it will transform into a hub of healing, hope, and unity. With the support of Telecast Media, Benefits Solutions Group, United Healthcare, FirstLine, Memphis Health Center, Dr. Telisa Franklin, Guidance Films & Music, and Breedlove Films & Music, this event is set to make a lasting impact on the lives it touches.
In a time when access to healthcare remains one of society’s pressing challenges, this event is a reminder of what’s possible when collaboration meets compassion. Memphis continues to lead by example, and with partners like these, the message is clear: health and hope belong to everyone.
