Smith Medical Clinic was established in 1985 by Dr. Cathcart Smith and his wife, Nancy, in an 8-foot wide trailer with office and medical equipment from Dr. Smith's former medical office. Initially, Dr. Smith recruited five retired doctors and a dozen nurses to volunteer at the clinic. This volunteer model has become a Smith Clinic tradition. Today, over 200 volunteers working in two locations provide complete medical care for over 2,000 low-income, uninsured, Georgetown County residents a year-for less than $250 per patient per year!

Don't let people go without care. If you know someone who lives in Georgetown County, doesn't have medical insurance and their household income falls below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, please tell them about us.
Donors are delighted to learn that we provide complete medical care for less than $250 per patient per year. Patient Partners annual giving program was established to allow donors a closer connection to care by "sponsoring" a patient or family with a gift of $250 or more. Patient Partners is the foundation for the clinic's continuing ability to provide medical care for our vulnerable neighbors.
After a wonderful, and at times, somewhat intimidating first few months here in Georgetown County, I am excited to have the opportunity to introduce myself to all of you wonderful Smith Medical Clinic supporters! In a very short time, I have fallen in love with both clinics and their communities. Anne Faul is without a doubt a tough act to follow. Under her guidance, a small, grassroots organization blossomed with over a decade of innovation and expansion. I hope my experience, enthusiasm, and fresh perspective will allow me to honor the legacy of the clinic, as well as its past leaders.
Smith Medical Clinic is a joyful, beautiful place where patients are treated with dignity, kindness, and respect, while at the same time receiving unparalleled health care. We are so lucky to have such compassionate providers here! The staff and volunteers at SMC go above and beyond what is required of them to create solutions to help our patients become and remain healthy.
As I write this, we are heading into yet another holiday season dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past 18 months, Covid has at times limited our volunteer involvement, limited the number of patient appointments available, as well as limited our fundraising opportunities. Please join us in supporting our low-income, uninsured neighbors; whether it be it by donating your time, money, or your voice to spread the word about the mission of the clinic. As you read through this last newsletter of 2021, I hope you find something that sparks your passion, and encourages you to be a part of our team providing care at SMC. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you
may have about what we have going on here at the clinic. I am excited for
the opportunity to serve the community I now call home.
Gratefully,
Gretchen Smith
