Good Neighbor Free Medical Clinic of Beaufort has been awarded a $6,000 grant from the Women in Philanthropy, a fund of Community Foundation of the Lowcountry. The grant will be used to expand the clinic’s co-pay assistance for women needing specialist medical services.

Staffed by more than 60 volunteers – physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and administrative staff – the clinic offers primary health care at no cost to low-income, uninsured adults in Beaufort County. Services include physical exams, treatment for acute illness and management of chronic disease, non-surgical orthopedic and cardiology care, laboratory and other diagnostic testing through the generosity of Beaufort Memorial Hospital and specialist referrals. More than three-quarters of the Clinic’s patients do not qualify for any government health insurance and have no access to affordable care.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>

Good Neighbor Free Medical Clinic of Beaufort is located at 30 Professional Village Circle on Lady’s Island. For additional information or to tour the clinic, contact Gough at gnmc1402@gmail.com.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>
