As South Georgia struggles to rebuild amid the destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene, we urge you to keep in mind the crucial importance of maintaining residents' access to quality health care - much of which comes from free and charitable clinics. Seven GCCN clinics were damaged in some way by the storm and need donations to recover their losses and remain open to care for patients. Without these care providers, uninsured south Georgians must travel significant distances and/or pay exorbitant fees for care while many are already suffering a severe loss of security, food, and housing. Please help keep health care accessible by donating either to individual clinics (click the logo below) or via this form.
