About Us
Providing free healthcare to the uninsured for 25 years.
We depend on volunteer providers, so please spread the word if you know of a physician or a nurse practitioner willing to volunteer one late afternoon/early evening per month.
Humble beginnings.
As early as 2001, Good Samaritan Clinic began to fill gaps in preventative healthcare services for the under-served in the Columbia, SC metro area. Over the last 25 years, we have grown from one clinic location to four, serving Lexington and Richland counties.
What we do.
We provide free medical services to uninsured families and individuals without the resources to access preventative care and education. Access to proper care, can be life changing as it impacts everything from family relationships to employment opportunities.
Join our mission.
We have a strong group of healthcare volunteers specializing in primary care, internal medicine, and women’s health to name a few. We are always looking for volunteers, contact us if you’re interested in joining our team!
