Overview

Mission

Mission columbus medical clinic is a christian non-profit medical, dental and vision clinic designated to serve the needs of uninsured patients that lack the resources to cover initial doctor visits and other medical needs. Qualifying patients have an annual income of no more than twice the federal poverty level. Our mission is to reach out and meet the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of the medically underserved in the greater columbus and chattahoochee valley area.

What it reported doing in 2014

We continued to increase community awareness about our services, and saw continued growth within the scope of our mission and goals. We distributed educational materials about maintaining a healthier life to patients with chronic or less serious health issues. We continued to develop a strong base of volunteers to assist with program development, patient care, and administrative work.
