One event we never miss is the Coweta Samaritan Clinic’s annual fundraiser.  So, put on your jeans and boots and join us for the 11th Annual Bluegrass & Barbecue on Sunday, October 3, 2021 from 4:30pm to 7:30pm in the parking lot behind Dunc’s BBQ Kitchen (98 Jackson St., Newnan)! This event will feature barbecue from Dunc’s BBQ Kitchen, great bluegrass music, and lots of fun! Marie and I are long time sponsors of this event and more importantly supporters of the exceptional work done by Samaritan Clinic.

This free clinic serves the medical needs of those citizens 19 year of age or older who live in Coweta County, have household incomes 200% below the federal poverty level and have no access to any medical insurance.

Coweta Samaritan Clinic began treating patients in October 2011. Since then the clinic’s has provided care for over 1,600 individual patients through over 22,000 patient visits. In 2020, despite Covid-19 the clinic had 486 individual patients and had 2,835 patient visits; in person and through telemedicine.

With the exception of a few full and part-time employees, all medical care and office support is provided by volunteers. More than 80 volunteers are active at the clinic. Many kind and skilled doctors, dentists, and medical specialists in the community treat clinic patients without charge.
