Macon Volunteer Clinic

Volunteer Description:

Macon Volunteer Clinic has been an integral safety net provider of the Macon-Bibb County healthcare delivery system since 2003, with the addition of Twiggs County in the Spring of 2022 and Wilkinson and Peach Counties in the Spring of 2024. Most recently in January of 2025, expanding our reach to eligible patients who reside in any one of the 13 North Central Health District Counties.
Lack of health insurance is the single greatest impediment to access to healthcare in the United States. Uninsured people are less likely to receive medical care, more likely to die early, and more likely to have poor health status.
Macon Volunteer Clinic’s mission is to foster primary healthcare for all working adults in Macon-Bibb and Twiggs counties, regardless of insurance or ability to pay. We are powered by philanthropy and volunteer physicians, dentists, nurses, and other volunteers. Our services are at no cost to those who qualify.
Our patients are hardworking neighbors who would otherwise fall through the cracks of our healthcare system. Some don’t work enough hours to qualify for employer benefits. Many are self-employed, or contract workers in the service industry. They include fast food workers, janitors, housekeepers, groundskeepers, barbers and hair stylists, artists and more.
To be eligible, a patient must live in one of the 13 counties in the North Central Health District, be between 18-64 years of age, have no health insurance, actively employed, and earn at or less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
