About the Clinic

The Clinic grew out of an idea of the Rev. Brent Norris, rector of Grace Episcopal Church, Cullman.  It quickly grew to involve 12 churches. then more as it continued on a journey from dream to reality on January 27, 2004, when the first patients were seen.

Operating with volunteer physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, lab technicians, pharmacy technicians and non-medical people, Good Samaritan strives to provide quality medical, pharmaceutical, dental, vision, hearing and medical education services to its uninsured patients.

The most telling comment about the Clinic came from one of our patients.  As she was leaving from her visit with the volunteer physician, she remarked to our receptionist, "Y'all don't treat me like I'm poor."

Luke 10:25-37 is the parable of the Good Samaritan.  The last verse is our motto and our guiding principle for all our efforts.

"Go and do likewise."
