GOOD NEIGHBOR FREE MEDICAL CLINIC

What GOOD NEIGHBOR FREE MEDICAL CLINIC does

Good Neighbor Free Medical Clinic of Beaufort is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable clinic founded in 2007 that delivers free primary medical care, prescription assistance, health education, and specialty referrals to uninsured adult residents of Beaufort County, South Carolina, ages 18-65 with household incomes at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. The clinic operates a single physical site at 974 Ribaut Road in Beaufort — recently relocated directly across from Beaufort Memorial Hospital — and is staffed entirely by volunteer physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and administrative personnel under a Board that spans clergy, hospital administration, finance, law, and human resources. There are no paid services; the technology stack is standard clinic operations with analog patient onboarding (eligibility verification, document submission, form completion, appointment scheduling).

The organization is funded exclusively through donations, grants, and in-kind contributions from a network of more than 30 supporting entities, including 25+ faith communities, Blue Cross-Blue Shield Foundation of South Carolina, Coastal Community Foundation, Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, United Way of the Lowcountry, the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, the Judith Haskell Brewer Fund, 100 Women Who Care, Rotary clubs, and individual donors. It holds a 2024 Gold Rating from the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC) Quality Standards and a 2026 Together SC Nonprofit Network membership endorsement. The clinic claims a donation-leverage ratio of $1 contributed producing $6.26 in patient care, and its go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on church referrals, partner referrals, and word-of-mouth rather than paid advertising or digital acquisition. There is no indication of revenue from patient billing, equity investment, or parent-company sponsorship.
