ALAS is hosting a free health fair at St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church. Services include free medical exams, health education, dental exams, and data card purchases. ALAS partners with the Georgia Volunteer Health Care Program to provide free clinics to eligible persons. Patients must be uninsured and have a household income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level in order to receive services.

Our clinics are staffed by board-certified physicians. All our clinics contribute to health care education by utilizing medical, physician assistant, and nursing student volunteers from Augusta University's Medical College of Georgia and College of Allied Health Sciences. Our clinic coordinators are medical and physician assistant students who are committed to practicing as patient-centered, compassionate health care providers.

The present healthcare system is not fully capable of enrolling all these individuals, so there is great demand for the health care services that Clínica Latina offers. In addition to offering health care services, Clínica Latina also offers educational experiences to the people who volunteer in the clinic. We have an interdisciplinary learning opportunity offered to the nursing students, PA students, and medical students of Augusta University.

The health fair will attempt to address these needs as well as provide patients and clients with information about wellness and prevention. Community organizations will be present to provide information about the services they offer through the CSRA.

What participants say
“There are times when we don’t have money to have food on our table, so the bag of food that I can get from the Clinics helps us a lot…especially in winter when my husband can’t find work and because I am not working because of back issues. “(translated from Spanish) –Lucia Rodas, community member

“…many people don’t know where to go for support and help… The Clinic is an ideal place to get medical help and a place to learn about other resources that can help patients’ health, like the Health Hubs.” –Carole Hirokane, Clinics patient

Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and that guy down the street. We want to create a space for your circle of friends to learn about mental health-related issues and have a conversation about how we can all be part of the solution to de-stigmatize mental illness. You get to choose the specific topic and where this will be. Our goal is to create more conversation around acceptance of mental health care as important (and routine) as physical healthcare.
