Our Mission
The Good Shepherd Clinic of Dawson County is a non-profit center that will provide free non-emergent health and wellness services for individuals that live and or work in Dawson County without access to insurance.
What is a Free Clinic? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, millions of people are without medical insurance in this country.
Many residents of Dawson County are uninsured - lacking sufficient resources to provide for their health care needs.
In response, communities across the country are developing Free Clinic that bring together volunteer health care professionals and other community volunteers to offer free health care to the uninsured people in their community.
Free Clinics are private, non-profit, community based organizations that provide non-emergent health services at no cost to uninsured people. They accomplish this through the use of volunteer health professionals and community volunteers, along with partnerships with other health providers.
Each Free Clinic is unique, in that its development and services are based on the particular needs and resources of the local community.
Care is made possible through the donation of goods and services, community contributions, and volunteers.
Volunteer health professionals provide a significant portion of health care services and are in great need if anyone is interested in volunteering.
