Faith Hope & Love Christian Ministries

What Faith Hope & Love Christian Ministries does

Faith Hope & Love Christian Ministries INC is a 501(c)(3) public charity that operates a single Health & Wellness Center in Lakeland, Georgia, providing affordable quality primary care to residents of Lanier County and surrounding areas. The clinic, opened on May 15, 2017, and relocated to 106 West Thigpen Avenue on January 6, 2020, is staffed by Kristen Ley, NP-C, an Adult Nurse Practitioner who is the organization's Medical Director and accepts patients ages 13 and older. Services span primary care, with experience covering diabetes management, medical/surgical, emergency, and long-term care. The clinic sits adjacent to SGMC Lanier Campus in an HRSA-designated Medically Underserved Area/Population, and accepts private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid while offering a sliding scale for qualifying uninsured patients.

The underlying operating model is a single-site, single-provider community clinic with no disclosed technology platform beyond a Squarespace-hosted website and a Facebook page for outreach. Revenue is generated from two streams: healthcare service fees (insurance reimbursements plus sliding-scale patient payments) and tax-deductible donations from individuals and supporting foundations. The organization has received a $50,000 grant from the Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry Foundation (February 2024) and displays referral relationships with GA Charity Care and HLJR Foundation. No outside investors, M&A activity, or secondary funding events are disclosed.

Go-to-market is community-led and faith-based: word-of-mouth, Facebook (fhlcmlakeland), and partnerships with local healthcare foundations drive awareness in a tightly networked rural county. The Board of Directors includes local civic figures (a long-tenured funeral director/former county coroner, an attorney/municipal judge, an educator), reinforcing the local-trust model. The organization has 11-50 employees and operates Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm, with both scheduled appointments and walk-ins.
