> The Center is limited to students enrolled at MSU. And naturally, the only person available to talk with was the secretary who could not give me any other agencies or names.
I was afraid that might happen. My friend in Hattiesburg might have assumed you were a student. Sorry!
Usually student counseling centers are aware of other professional resources (individuals and agencies) in their area. They're under no obligation to help non-students, but you could try calling back and maybe just asking to speak with Dr. Cox:

and then explaining your situation and asking her for suggestions.
Or, maybe an internist who specializes in geriatric patients might be a better bet. You could try to talking to a doctor at their Student Health Center:

and asking for suggestions, though of course you might run into the same problems as before.
Good luck,
Bob
