Free Medical Care: Health And Hope Clinic Dedicated
February 12, 2012
The new Health and Hope Clinic in Century was officially dedicated Saturday morning.
The Health and Hope Clinic quietly opened in October in the old Escambia County Health Department building at 501 Church Street in Century. It is the second location for the clinic, which was first established in Pensacola back in 2003 by the Pensacola Bay Baptist Association to meet the needs of uninsured and medically underserved in Escambia County. The clinic is entirely volunteer and donor supported.
During the official dedication Saturday morning, volunteers, local pastors and community leaders came together to celebrate the new clinic.

“It’s a real blessing,” Tammy Lewis of Bratt said on a recent visit to the new Century Health and Hope Clinic. “I found out about it from the church. It’s great to see doctors and people that will see you anyway without insurance.”
Since 2003, the Pensacola Health and Hope Clinic has provided over $8.5 million in healthcare services and 12,000 patient-provider visits as it carries out its mission of “providing health and hope to the hurting”.
Through the primary Pensacola location, the new Health and Hope Clinic offers primary medical care, preventative care, specialty care – including rheumatology, neurology, women’s health, chiropractic services and minor office surgery, full laboratory services, prescription assistance and pharmacy services and referrals to community social services.
The new Health and Hope Clinic in Century is open on Tuesdays from 5-8 p.m. For appointments, call (850) 256-6200 or (850) 479-4456. For more information on the Health and Hope Clinic and services, visit www.healthandhopeclinic.org. Services are available to Escambia County, FL, residents only.

The Health & Hope Clinic North End serves the people in the Century, McDavid, Molino, Walnut Hill, Jay, Flomaton, Atmore & Brewton areas. We normally take people that have Medicaid medically needy, also called Medicaid cost of share. It depends on what your monthly cost share is. We need volunteers in all areas.
Thank you Terri Sanders for your comment. I am a volunteer at the Health and Hope Clinic. Yes we need volunteers so bad at the clinic. We are doing the best we can with what little volunteers we have.

We need you! Whether you have health care experience or not, we have a place for you.
If you have medicare and medicaid you have access to healthcare.The clinic is for those people who don’t have that or health insurance.Those that fall between the cracks.It is income based.there are lots of hard working people who cannot afford 700.00 or 800.00 monthly for health insurance.This clinic is a God send to those people.I hope the local churches and the community get behind this.They need volunteers,and the more volunteers they get,either physicians,nurses or others the more services they can offer the community.Top notch services by people who care and by doctors who aren’t getting favors by pushing drugs.God bless all of you at both clinics.
That’s wonderful. I’m glad I read this.
