Coweta Samaritan Clinic (CSC) arose from Dr. Kay Crosby’s calling to create a medical home for uninsured and medically underserved adults in Coweta County. After twenty years practicing internal medicine, Kay left her private practice in 2008 to bring a free clinic to her hometown of Newnan, Georgia. Generous support from the Coweta County Hospital Authority (building lease), Newnan Hospital Foundation (annual operating funds), and Piedmont Newnan Hospital (free lab and basic radiology services) provided a solid foundation on which to build.
CSC began treating patients in October 2011. Since then the clinic’s patient base has grown to more than 1,600 individuals and volunteer healthcare professionals have conducted more than 22,000 patient visits.
Our Mission
To provide high-quality, compassionate healthcare in a faith-based environment for Coweta County residents in need.
Our Patients
Residents ages 19 and older who have no health insurance and have a household income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
An estimated 10,000 individuals in Coweta County could qualify to be Clinic patients. Lacking access to primary care, many of these individuals must use the emergency room as their source of care.
