Our Story

In 2015, a group of community partners met and recognized the need for free and accessible healthcare for uninsured adults in Effingham County.

Effingham has high rates of people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. At the same time, there is a lack of public transporation inside the county. There were few options for people who did not have health insurance.
