Cheerful Giver Grant

Thank you, Cheerful Giver!

We are so incredibly grateful for the anonymous gift of $10,000  from The Cheerful Giver Fund of Central Carolina Community Foundation. 

The Cheerful Giver Grant helped bridge a gap in providing diagnostic lab tests when there is an urgency for a patient's diagnosis to determine further treatment and the financial aid process through local hospitals may be too slow.

Typical costs for labs are well beyond the financial capacity of our patients. All of our patients are uninsured and a single lab test can range from $100 - $1,140. Our patients often need multiple tests. 

Health disparities are a real and pressing issue in the United States. These disparities exist when people experience different health and illness levels based on race, ethnicity, income, or location. 

The provision of free health care to those living in poverty can be a life changing experience that enables them to look for jobs, take better care of their families and lead more productive lives in the community.

GSC receives Community Outreach Grant

Lexington Medical Center and the Foundation awarded Community Outreach Grants to 501(C)3 non-profits in their service area that address community healthcare needs by bridging the healthcare gaps within Lexington Medical's service area. Lexington Medical Center has been a long term donor to Good Samaritan Clinic as well as helping our patients navigate the complicated healthcare system so that our patients can get the best care possible.

GSC receives Aflac Community Care Grant

On Wednesday, November 9th, Executive Director Shannon Madden accepted an Aflac Care Grant award to Good Samaritan Clinic.

This generous donation will allow GSC to continue providing health care to those in our community who are uninsured. This includes expanding the staff, which is comprised primarily of volunteers, and creating an online healthcare portal.
