How we got Started and Where we are Headed
In the fall of 2003, several health fairs were held in the Gwinnett County community. Hundreds of people attended these fairs. A huge disparity between the medical needs of the community and the services being offered became evident. In December 2003, a needs assessment was commissioned to gather information about Gwinnett County and its healthcare delivery system. After reports identified medically underserved communities in Gwinnett County, concerned individuals from local churches began to plan a medical ministry that eventually became the Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett, Inc.
