Who We Are
The Good Samaritan Free Health Center, which opened in January 2011, has helped thousands of uninsured, non-Medicaid/Medicare-eligible adults find a medical home where they are able to receive regular primary healthcare. Volunteers are the primary providers of care, which also includes specialties, dental, and behavioral healthcare.
Our goal is to provide uninsured adults in Hamilton County, who are disproportionately at risk for chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, the medical care they need to enjoy a higher quality of life.
How We Work
The Free Health Center is 100% philanthropically funded, depending on generous individuals who donate financial resources. All philanthropy is coordinated through Good Samaritan Foundation.
