Director of Development

The Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett (AKA Good Sam Gwinnett and GSHCG) is a non-profit organization operating two charitable clinics in Gwinnett County (Good Sam East and Good Sam West, both in Norcross) providing low-cost medical care, dental care, counseling services, and access to medications across the life span of poor and uninsured children and adults.

Description of the Organization

The mission of Good Sam Gwinnett is to demonstrate the love of Christ through providing health and dental services to the poor and uninsured. Our goals include:

The benefits of achieving our goals include helping to eliminate health disparities for poor and uninsured populations, helping to reduce the cost of indigent care on the public healthcare delivery system, and increasing awareness among medical professionals of the unique needs and challenges of the poor and uninsured.
