Our Story

In 1995, Dr. Bill Warren left his private pediatric practice in Sandy Springs to fulfill a calling; he wanted to serve Atlanta’s neediest residents. The Good Samaritan Health Center was formed in 1998 and opened for service in 1999, with a staff of eight, and a handful of volunteers. The Center has grown rapidly having over 17,500 patient visits in 2006.
The Center provides a comprehensive range of services for patients without the means to afford care. Atlanta’s homeless make up about 20% of patient visits, the working poor 70%, and those who are Medicaid/Medicare eligible compose 10% of our visits. Patients pay on a much reduced sliding fee scale based on income. The Center’s vision is to create a dependable, full-time, comprehensive healthcare system for Atlanta’s working poor and homeless. We offer an ongoing relationship with a network of dedicated healthcare specialists who address each need. Most importantly, The Center provides a comfortable environment for our patients, where all people are treated with dignity and respect.
