We provide free assistance with finding affordable health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids™, Planning for Healthy Babies (P4HB), or Medicare programs.
Affordable Care Act (ACA)
The "Affordable Care Act" (ACA) is the name of the comprehensive healthcare reform law and its amendments that addresses health insurance coverage, healthcare costs and preventive care. Many individuals and families in Georgia who did not previously have access to insurance coverage may now qualify for coverage at a low cost or no cost. As a Certified Application Counselors (CACs) site for the ACA, our certified application counselors help you navigate through the ACA Marketplace to find a plan that works for your family and apply for coverage.
Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids ™
We assist you in submitting your child's application for Medicaid or Georgia's low-cost health insurance program for working families, PeachCare for Kids™. These program help ensure that your children, up to age 19, receive healthcare through access to affordable health insurance. Once your child is enrolled, he/she can receive preventive services like immunizations and well-child checks, dental care, vision care, prescriptions, behavioral health, as well as specialty care.
Medicaid for pregnant women pays for medical care, including labor and delivery, for up to six months after giving birth. If you qualify, you can be entitled to a full range of Medicaid covered services, including physician visits, prescriptions, and inpatient and outpatient hospital services. Once our OB/GYN provider confirms you are pregnant, our team can provide you with a Medicaid application to complete while on-site. We can scan your application to the Medicaid office on your behalf, and help you understand the next steps in the process.

Planning for Healthy Babies provides no-cost family planning services to eligible Georgia women ages 18-44 who can become pregnant.

Dealing with a positive cancer diagnosis can be an emotional journey leaving you unsure of where to start. When our providers refer you to our cancer screening program, our team guides you through the appropriate steps. We review your diagnosis and medical history.

We refer you to hospitals, cancer treatment centers and medical practices throughout the metro area that specialize in the type of cancer screening and/or treatment you need.
We partner with the American Cancer Society, Northside Mobile Mammogram and Susan G. Komen Foundation to support funding for our under-served patients to receive care, to host screening events that educate you about the importance of cancer screenings and to educate you on early signs and proactive steps.

Public Housing Primary Care
Through our Public Housing Primary Care Program, we provide the care you need right in your neighborhood. We operate a satellite location in Cobb County and provide care via our school-based health center locations. We offer access to full-service healthcare, including adult medicine, behavioral health, OB/GYN, pediatrics, lab, pharmacy, care coordination, disease management, health education, outreach, and free insurance enrollment assistance.

School-Based Health Centers
Our current school-based health center partners are Clayton County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, and Fulton County Schools.

We offer asthma management, behavioral health management, chronic disease support, sports physicals, health education, immunizations, nutritional counseling, and more. Please visit our locations page for SBHC locations, hours of operation and directions.
If your child gets sick while at school, they can receive care from our school-based providers. Instead of you having to take time off work to hopefully secure a same-day appointment with your regular pediatrician, you can have peace of mind knowing we are taking good care of your child. Plus, the sooner we diagnose and treat your child, the fewer sick days they might need away from school, and the likelihood of their sickness spreading to other students is reduced.
