Good Samaritan Clinic provides medical care to those in need

CHAPIN, SC – Medical care is essential to quality of life. This is why the Good Samaritan Clinic was founded in South Carolina.

“When you have medical problems, a big part of your life can start to fall apart,” said Shannon Madden, Executive Director.

Clinics are located in Columbia, Chapin, West Columbia, Edisto Island and Lexington.

“I think it’s a wonderful clinic,” said volunteer nurse Loni Scavone. “We serve the uninsured, the underserved. Even if we capture a patient or two during our evenings, we are happy to have done our job.”

Even through COVID-19, they have served and exceeded the needs of Southern Carolinians. They set up tents outside to treat patients while socially distancing themselves and masquerading.

People hear about them mostly through word of mouth, but the location in Chapin just got a big sign to put up last month.

They are always looking to get more volunteer nurses and physicians and clients to their Lexington location.

Executive Director Shannon Madden says she still remembers the countless faces that tell her they feel their lives have started all over again after stepping inside.

“As he was leaving, there were several of us in a group that he was passing to go out, and he stopped and tears filled his eyes, and he just said thank you very much, I love you. so much, ”Madden says.

Touch lives and heal wounds. This is exactly what these people are doing and will continue to do.
