Free Health Clinic To Provide Health And Hope For North Escambia
March 9, 2011
There will soon be help and hope for the uninsured and medically underserved in the North Escambia area.
Work is underway now to prepare for an April opening of the Health And Hope Northend Clinic in Century. The new clinic in Century will be an entirely volunteer and donor driven clinic established by the Pensacola Bay Baptist Association in order to help meet the need of the medically underserved population in Escambia County. The clinic will target patients who are without access to health insurance and with an income at or below 150-percent of the poverty level.
At the Century clinic, as well as an existing Health and Hope Clinic in Pensacola, doctors, mid-level providers, nurses, pharmacists, medical technologists, case workers, clerical workers, medical assistants, equipment specialists, encouragers and more volunteer side-by-side to provide Christ-centered health care.
The new Northend Health and Hope Clinic will be located in the former Escambia County Health Department building on Church Street in Century.
This past weekend, youth and adult leader volunteers gathered at the Century clinic to paint the building’s interior. Youth groups from Highland Baptist, the First Baptist Church of Century, the First Baptist Church of Bratt, Walnut Hill Baptist and Ray’s Chapel Baptist churches took part. For more photos, click here.
The Health and Hope Clinic is seeking volunteers, supplies and equipment for the Century clinic. For more information, click here or call (850) 479-4456.

This is such a wonderful thing. Thank god for people that will volunteer their time to people who are going through tough times. I just hope people don’t abuse this clinic and it end up closing.
I think this is great! Very needed. I hope alot to talented people will volunteer and share their skills with those who are in need.
I wonder if this location will see children?
Praise God for these fine folks! What a wonderful good work they are doing.
Free Health Care….at Century
Free Dental Care….at Atmore
Thats what we call taking care of your own. I think that is wonderful.
It is private what I will do but I hope everyone does something to help.
Everyone has something they can give even if it is just the change in
your pockets.
I hope that the people who get free services here for themselves
and their children remember to donate SOMETHING no matter how
small, or remember to donate some time.
>>>where do you make financial donations?
There is a link to more info in the last paragraph in the story; there is an address there. Or call the phone number listed.
Also, if you attend on of the Baptist churches in the association, you can usually make a “designated” offering to the church to go to the clinic.
where do you make financial donations?

Health and Hope Clinic is AWESOME!!! Everyone should support this effort and ministry anyway they can – financially, volunteer, encourage, solicit donations etc.
Great folks!
