Good Samaritan Health Services

What Good Samaritan Health Services does

Good Samaritan Health Services, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 1998 by Dr. John R. Crouch, Jr. in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that provides free primary medical care to uninsured and underserved populations. The organization operates 13 clinic locations across Tulsa, Glenpool, and Sand Springs, delivered through three mobile medical trucks — Little Sam (1999), Big Sam (a 63-foot tractor-trailer with three exam rooms and a nurses' station, 2007), and Middle Sam (2015) — that travel to host church sites. Core service lines include Primary Care, Women's Health Clinics, Diabetic Education with annual retinal scans, Vision Clinics, Chronic Disease Clinics, and Spiritual Support.

The organization's go-to-market model is community-led: a network of 40+ local churches provides facilities, volunteers, hospitality, financial support, and prayer, while 330+ active volunteers from diverse denominations sustain operations. Distribution channels combine the mobile clinic fleet with brick-and-mortar locations such as the Asbury Development Center and Tulsa Dream Center campuses (North and West), supplemented by church-hosted clinic sites on varying weekly or monthly schedules. Marketing is grassroots, relying on Facebook, an email newsletter, patient testimonials, and an annual "Sock Hop for Hope" charity gala.

Revenue is entirely donation-based. As a 501c3, Good Samaritan receives charitable contributions from individual donors and a broad set of financial partners (e.g., George Kaiser, Anne Henry Zarrow, Helmerich, Oxley, Stitt Charitable, Walmart, Tulsa Community Foundation, DirectRelief), supplemented by structured programs such as "Sponsor a Patient" (requesting $250 per patient visit), Legacy Tree donations, and Diabetic Nutrition Class donations. All medical services — doctor visits, medications, follow-up care, specialty referrals, and health education — are provided free of charge. Strategic partners such as Ascension St. John and DirectRelief provide clinical expertise and medical supplies. Annual impact includes 6,204 patient visits, 1,920 unique patients, 627 new patients, 891 patients kept out of emergency rooms, and an estimated $2.5 million in hospital cost savings.
