Taylors Free Medical Clinic

What Taylors Free Medical Clinic does

Taylors Free Medical Clinic is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit free medical clinic incorporated in 2004 and opened on July 28, 2005, located at 400 West Main Street, Taylors, South Carolina. Its mission is to provide preventive, primary, and specialty medical care along with pharmacy and counseling services at no cost to medically uninsured and indigent residents of Greenville County whose household income is at or below 165% of the federal poverty level and who lack Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, or private insurance. The organization operates a hub-and-spoke service model with primary medical care and an on-site pharmacy as the central offerings, complemented by volunteer-delivered specialty care (cardiology, dermatology, gynecology, orthopedic, surgical, chiropractic), counseling (with Biblical counseling planned), chronic disease management classes, and nutritional counseling.

The clinic is fully volunteer-staffed except for a small management team of fewer than ten people, with only paid roles including the Executive Director/CEO (Melissa Vandermey), Medical Director (Dr. Rebecca Smith), Pharmacist in Charge (Dr. Kristi Shockley), two nurse practitioners, a nurse, a receptionist and volunteer coordinator (Leslie Chavez-Lozano), and a patient services coordinator. Governance rests with a Board of Directors led by Chair Bo Davies, Vice Chairman Chris DeWease, Treasurer Robert Leatherwood, and Secretary Christa T. Williams. There is no proprietary technology, mobile application, or AI capability in use; patient intake is walk-in registration on Wednesday mornings followed by appointment-based provider visits.

The business model is donation-funded rather than revenue-generating. All services are provided free of charge to qualifying patients. Operating revenue is sourced from community donations (online via GiveButter and mailed checks), in-kind gifts, an annual 'Night of Impact' fundraising gala (next: April 21, 2026 at Taylors First Baptist Church), and membership in associations such as the South Carolina Free Medical Clinic Association, National Free Clinic Association, and Volunteers in Medicine. The clinic maintains a GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency and reports having served over 5,100 patients since 2005 with an average of 130 appointments per week. Its go-to-market is community-led, driven by faith-based outreach through local churches and word of mouth rather than any active sales motion.
