Bill > HR681

This resolution commends The Good Samaritan Health Centers of Gwinnett (Good Sam Gwinnett), a non-profit organization founded in 2005 that provides low-cost medical, dental, and counseling services to uninsured and low-income residents of Gwinnett County, Georgia. Operating through two clinics in Norcross, the organization has served over 300,000 individuals during its existence, with a mission to ensure that no individual suffers from treatable health conditions due to lack of access to care. Good Sam Gwinnett aims to provide affordable healthcare, reduce emergency room burden for non-emergency services, and help train future medical professionals to address challenges faced by disadvantaged populations. The resolution highlights the organization's efforts to eliminate health disparities, reduce indigent care costs, and raise awareness about underserved populations, and is led by CEO Shameka Allen with a staff of over 50 full- and part-time workers. The House of Representatives formally commends the organization for its dedication to serving uninsured and low-income individuals and directs the House Clerk to distribute an official copy of the resolution to Good Sam Gwinnett.
