Good Shepherd Clinic to celebrate
another year with annual brunch
By Allie Dean

A brunch celebration Sunday, Sept. 9
will support Good Shepherd Clinic’s
continued efforts to offer free medical
care in Dawson County.
Volunteers with the free clinic will be
at The Chimneys at Big Canoe from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. for the 7th annual Grits
and Granola brunch, where Talk of the
Town is catering a meal of grits, grano
la and much more.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased
by emailing Nancy McNeill at rrmc-
neill40@cs.com or by calling her at
(706) 216-4673.
All proceeds of the event will benefit
the Good Shepherd Clinic, which is a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that
provides free medical, dental, vision,
hearing and prescription medications to
eligible residents of Dawson County
who don’t have insurance or financial
means.
To be eligible, patients must live,
work or go to school in the county, not
have any insurance and have an income
of 200 percent or below the federal
poverty level. For a family of two,
that’s an income of about $34,000 a
year.
Since the clinic opened in the base
ment of Grace Presbyterian Church in
2009, the clinic has seen 835 patients
with 1,879 visits in 2017.
Kay Parrish, manager of the clinic,
recently said that the clinic will soon
be able to take in walk-in patients at
the building the clinic leases from
Northeast Georgia Medical Center,
located at 45 Medical Center Drive,
behind the Burger King.
One hundred percent donor and vol
unteer dependent, the clinic is open
four days a week and citizens receive
services including women’s wellness
screenings, cardiology services and
mental health counseling.
