Good News Clinics

What Good News Clinics does

Good News Clinics (EIN 58-2058853) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit free clinic founded in 1992 and headquartered in Gainesville, Georgia, that delivers medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, behavioral health, counseling, and health-access services at no cost to uninsured Hall County residents ages 18-65 with household income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. Its service platform comprises six integrated clinic lines — the Sam Poole Medical Clinic, the Green Warren Dental Clinic, the Good News Dispensary, the Seelke Eye Clinic, the Behavioral Health and Counseling program, and the Health Access Program — plus a Fresh Food Market add-on, supported by 46 volunteer physicians, 43 volunteer dentists, two full-time nurse practitioners, and an on-site dispensary that fills nearly 40,000 prescriptions annually.

Operating as the largest free clinic in Georgia, Good News Clinics leverages Patient Assistance Programs from pharmaceutical companies to source medications and coordinates with over 300 specialty physicians and Northeast Georgia Medical Center to deliver specialty care valued at over $11 million annually. The Hepatitis C treatment protocol reports a 98% cure rate against more than $3.8 million in medication value delivered, and the Green Warren Dental Clinic is ranked among the Top Ten Free dental clinics in the United States. Capacity has materially expanded: a 2024 facility build-out lifted medical service capacity by 60% and counseling services by 75%.

The business model is donation-dependent and capacity-constrained: services are free at point of care, with funding drawn from individual donations, United Way of Hall County, corporate event sponsorships (Boots & Buckles Benefit, Perennial Benefit), foundation grants (AstraZeneca Foundation, Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry Foundation, R Howard Dobbs Foundation, etc.), the Greater Things Capital Campaign endowment ($10.064M raised toward $11M), and goods donations. The organization receives no federal or local government funding, operates with 92 cents of every dollar going to direct patient services on a budget exceeding $3 million annually, and maintains Charity Navigator Four Star Charity and NAFC Gold Seal certifications.
