The Good Samaritan Health Center of Atlanta provides a full suite of primary medical care to under-insured, uninsured and homeless individuals and families throughout Metro-Atlanta, averaging over 27,000 patient visits per year. Located on the border of the 30318 and 30314 zip codes, two of the most under-served communities in Atlanta, Good Sam is in a position to serve the community in a way that is desperately needed.
A wide range of services are offered in the following fields: Medical, Dental, Mental Health, Health Education Programming and Nutritional Programming. Health services are offered on a sliding fee scale allowing patients access to care at their ability to pay. In addition, the Good Sam Urban Farm provides fresh produce for the FoodRX Program. The FoodRX Program provides nutritional food items to individuals and families suffering from nutritional related diseases for a low co-pay of $5 for an entire 8 week period. Soon to be added is a partnership with Urban Perform to open an on-site gym for the community.
Good Sam was launched in 1998 and has since expanded to its current location on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.
The mission of Good Sam is "Spreading Christ's love through quality healthcare".
Good Sam is entirely donor funded.
