The Coweta Samaritan Clinic would not exist without volunteers. The majority of medical and dental care at the clinic is provided by volunteers, including physicians, dentists, NPs, PAs, nurses and other medical professionals. They are assisted by additional volunteers how work in the clinical office and serve as eligibility screeners. 

 

Volunteer healthcare providers will be screened and must have an exemplary record. Licensed volunteer healthcare providers can apply for Sovereign Immunity protection provided by the State of Georgia through the Georgia Volunteer Healthcare Program.

 

The clinic can help retired physicians obtain a special license to practice at the clinic. Nurses do not need to have an active license.
