AI Summary
- Georgia Free Clinic Network connects over 100 nonprofit charitable medical and dental clinics across the state, serving a portion of the more than 1.7 million uninsured Georgians
- Charitable clinics provide an estimated $200 to $400 million in care annually while reaching only 10 percent of the uninsured population, according to the state auditor
- Approximately 200,000 low-income, uninsured Georgians received health care services through charitable clinics in 2009, staffed largely by volunteer health care providers and community supporters
- Clinics experienced demand increases of 25 to 50 percent over 2009 levels and were forced to turn away an estimated 50,000 Georgians due to lack of capacity
- The Senate formally recognizes and commends the Georgia Free Clinic Network and its member clinics, and notes a one-day C.A.R.E. clinic event scheduled for March 27, 2010, expected to serve 1,800 patients with 1,000 volunteers
