Mission Statement
Grace Healthcare Services Corp is a non-profit founded in 2017. Our first original GRACE Clinic, founded in 2016 is located at Grace Marketplace. It continues to provide acute and chronic disease healthcare management to hundreds of homeless, uninsured, and medically indigent individuals in the Gainesville area who otherwise would have no access to care. Between 29,000 and 62,000 Alachua county residents are uninsured. Grace Healthcare is now establishing an additional new bimonthly women's only clinic at GRACE, operated by the Alachua Area Med Reserve Corp/Dept of Health. It will serve 100+ homeless and medically indigent women, with trauma care in a safe comfortable setting. Clinic services will include general medical & gynecological care, STD testing & treatment, limited pre-natal care & referral, & sexual assault evaluation with onsite counseling by Alachua County Rape Crisis Center staff.
Description
Grace Healthcare is a non-profit founded in 2017 to provide pharmacy and health care services to medically indigent individuals, including the homeless at GRACE Marketplace in Gainesville. Grace Healthcare operates a free pharmacy & manages a medical clinic located at GRACE Marketplace. Free health care is provided by our safety-net clinic partners, using the clinic space, equipment, and supplies provided by Grace Healthcare. We now want to start a bimonthly women’s clinic and are looking for a volunteer healthcare provider.
The new women's health clinic will be operated by the Alachua Area Medical Reserve Corp/Department of Health, with the Alachua Co Rape Crisis Center. It will be open 4 hours twice a month to provide comprehensive women’s health care, & on-site counseling, as needed, by staff from the Rape Crisis Center. The Grace Women’s Clinic will serve up to 100+ homeless and medically indigent women who need medical treatment and/or confidential sexual assault counseling. We will provide general medical care and screening labs, gynecological exams, PAP and STD testing, sexual assault/abuse services, and limited pre-natal care with OB referrals.
