Volunteer Opportunity
to Help Our
Under Served Population

Many people in the Greater Atlanta Area who have diabetes
cannot afford healthcare.

Good Samaritan Health Clinic is a Christian Clinic with a mission to provide quality healthcare for those who cannot afford it. The clinic has an enrollment of over 600 diabetes patients; most of whom work with no health insurance.

A half-day per week would make a difference in your community and you. Make a difference with diabetes education;
