Good Samaritan Clinic was established to help the “working poor”. We strive to offer a “hand up, NOT a hand out”.
Our patient database has almost 8500 names now. Walter is like many of our patients; his story is not unusual. However, this is what he says about GSC, in his own words:
“I am a 27 year old man who works…at a local retail store. I heard about Good Samaritan through word of mouth. It sounded too good to be true. They diagnosed me with high blood pressure…They set me up with free prescription assistance and talked to me about a lifestyle change. Well, two years later I still can’t afford the high insurance rates through my company, and I have a 3-year-old child and a wife that I’m sending through college. Therefore funds are even tighter than they were. Good Samaritan really cares about their patients, and they are still taking care of me. I’m doing well and it’s all because of this clinic. Good Samaritan is certainly a great name for this place. Just being around the care I receive makes me want to treat others more respectful [sic], including myself, my neighbors, and family. Anything is possible when you have places like these to go to. It’s wonderful!!”
The people of the Fort Smith/River Valley area who support this Clinic with their gifts are truly making a difference…
Be blessed!
