MISSION
The mission of Good Samaritan Clinic is to improve the health in our region by providing access to compassionate, quality healthcare.

OUR BOARD
Each board member holds a key to unlocking invaluable change and growth not only for the clinic, but our community as well.
Our History
In 2003, a group of concerned citizens, including Ramona Roberts and the late Dr. Kemal Kutait, got together and decided that they were seeing a need for medical care for members of the working class who were slipping through the cracks. They noticed that these families, that were either too large and unable to afford insurance or couldn’t meet the deductibles, were not receiving adequate health care.
Our Mission
To improve the health in our region by providing access to compassionate, quality healthcare.
Our Vision
A community in which neighbors work together giving their time, talent, and resources to ensure everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life.
Our Values
LOVE: We have the responsibility to be our brother’s keeper.
ACCESS: We believe all deserve access to quality healthcare.
COMPASSION: We believe in showing compassion to all with dignity.
ENGAGEMENT: We believe passion, partnerships and a personal connection drives employees and a community to action.
Love, access, compassion and engagement LACED together, are the ties that bind us as one organization, helping those in need.
