ST ANDREW COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER INC

What ST ANDREW COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER INC does

St. Andrew Community Medical Center, Inc. (SACMC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit free clinic founded in 2004 in Panama City, Florida, providing no-cost primary healthcare and prescription medications to economically disadvantaged, uninsured adults in Bay County. To qualify, patients must be Bay County residents aged 19–64 with gross income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level and no access to health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or medically needy programs. State-certified volunteer screeners verify eligibility by phone before appointments are scheduled. The clinic operates Monday–Thursday and Friday mornings, with core services including general primary care, chronic illness management, an on-site pharmacy, and a Patient Assistance Program (PAP) that connects patients with free specialty medications from pharmaceutical companies. A recently introduced Medicine Pick-up Window offers curbside prescription collection.

The organization is volunteer-driven: 6 paid staff are supported by 76–83 volunteers, including 41–52 licensed medical providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, assistants), who collectively contributed 9,286 hours in FY24–25. Leadership comprises Executive Clinic Director Carole Summey (RN), Medical Director Jimmie McCready (MD), and Co-founder/Medical Director Emeritus Curtis Williams (MD), with a Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Delbert Summey. In the most recent fiscal year (7/1/24–6/30/25), SACMC delivered $6.69M of free healthcare services, 9,726 patient visits, 19,000 prescription medications, and 175 cumulative Hepatitis-C cures (since November 2014).

SACMC is funded entirely through donations, grants, fundraising events, and in-kind pharmaceutical support — no fees are charged to patients. Major funding partners include Bay Health Foundation, St. Joe Community Foundation, United Way of Northwest Florida, and more than 200 individual, church, and corporate donors. Operational partnerships span Ascension Bay Hospital, Bay County Commissioners, St. Andrew Baptist Church, Florida Association of Free & Charitable Clinics, and Florida Baptist Convention. Annual fundraising is anchored by the charity golf tournament (8th Annual scheduled April 7, 2026). The distribution model is a single physical clinic at 3101-B Highway 98 West, Panama City, FL, with a deeply local, faith-based, community-led go-to-market motion.

Emerging players

• Remote Area Medical (RAM): Volunteer-driven nonprofit delivering free pop-up primary, dental, and vision clinics to uninsured populations across the U.S. Overlaps with SACMC on the volunteer free-care model but uses mobile, episodic events rather than a fixed clinic.

Direct peers

• Grace Medical Home: Faith-based free medical home in Orlando serving uninsured residents with volunteer physicians, chronic disease management, and on-site pharmacy — directly comparable in mission, eligibility criteria, and volunteer model to SACMC.
• CrossOver Healthcare Ministry: Faith-based, volunteer-staffed free clinic in Richmond, VA providing primary care, pharmacy, and chronic disease management to uninsured low-income adults — comparable model, scale, and target population to SACMC.
• Christ Community Health Services: Faith-based community health network operating multiple clinic sites with volunteer and grant-supported care for underserved populations; comparable in faith-rooted mission and primary care + pharmacy integration.
• Volunteers in Medicine America: National network that incubates and supports free, volunteer-driven primary care clinics for the uninsured. Operationally and philosophically the closest analog to SACMC's volunteer-staffed, donation-funded model.
• San Jose Clinic: Houston-based faith-affiliated free clinic offering primary care and an on-site pharmacy to uninsured patients below 300% FPL; directly comparable in target population and pharmacy-driven free medication model.
• Florida Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (FAFCC): State-level association of which SACMC is a member; peer organizations under its umbrella include other Florida free clinics serving uninsured adults with volunteer clinicians and on-site pharmacy programs.

Others

• Bay Health Foundation: Local foundation that grants funds to Bay County safety-net providers including SACMC; relevant as a funding ecosystem peer rather than a service competitor.
• National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC): National membership body representing 1,400+ free and charitable clinics; comparable as an ecosystem aggregator rather than a service competitor. Useful for benchmarking SACMC's volunteer model and grant access.

Broad incumbents

• Ascension Sacred Heart Bay (Ascension Health): SACMC's named hospital partner, Ascension is a large national Catholic health system whose mission-driven safety-net services and community health programs overlap thematically with SACMC's free primary care mission, but at vastly greater scale.
