Free Health Care Clinics in Georgia

Tina Samuels
Free Clinic is more than a low or no cost healthcare facility. Free Clinics are parts of organizations that provides the low or no cost healthcare to people with limited resources, mainly fueled by volunteers, and who are committed to shrinking the patient to quality care red tape. Free Clinics have widespread community ties with financial support. With free or low cost healthcare, the health of the community members can increase, mortality decrease, and the environment for the other city patrons bettered.

Free Clinics have a huge Georgia impact. There are estimates that over 90,000 Georgians were seen in 2004. That is 90,000 people who would otherwise not have seen a medical professional, possibly spreading disease and illness to others. Those 90,000 patients are representative of the combined population of 18 rural counties in Georgia. In fact, the Georgia State Auditor has estimated that 10-20% of all uninsured care throughout the state of Georgia occurs within Free Clinics. (Source: Fiscal Note: HB 1272)
