Sounds of Good Medicine 2024
Through your generous support, The Family Health Centers of
Georgia, Inc. continues to provide comprehensive, high quality,
patient-centered healthcare to the communities we serve, with a commitment to
excellence. We provided services to 17,924 patients in 2023, with 95% of our
patient population being Black/African American, living at or below the federal
poverty guidelines in Georgia's Clayton, Cobb, Douglas, Fulton, and Henry counties.
In 2024, we increased our capacity to service communities
through acquisitions, partnerships, and creative concepts. We partnered with
Wellstar Health System, in Morrow, Georgia, to ensure adults and children
received healthcare as Wellstar's footprint transitioned from the Morrow,
Georgia area. We expanded our community reach by opening our permanent
location, The Family Health Center at Morrow and relocating the Georgia
Center for Women to
a newly renovated location.
We continue to operate five School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs)
in partnership with Clayton County Public Schools, Douglas County School
System, and Fulton County School System, with two new centers (Love T. Noland
Elementary and Forest Park Middle School) opening in October 2024. Our TEEN
Clinic Plus and adolescent healthcare services include weight management, immunizations,
wellness visits, behavioral health, pediatric dentistry, and more to help keep our
youth informed, healthy, and safe.
Our commitment as the statewide administrator for the Office
of Population Affairs Title X family planning program is to ensure that
affordable family planning and primary healthcare services are available under
one roof at more than 206 sites, covering 157 of Georgia's 159 counties.
We operate three mobile medical units to reach populations
within a 50-mile radius of any one of our center locations. Our Uber Health partnership
ensures that patients do not miss appointments because of transportation
issues.
Our success depends on you. Your donation makes a difference
for our patients and our communities. No amount is too small or too large.
