Struggling with basic tasks and unable to sleep due to the pain, her life felt trapped in her own body. However, everything changed when she visited the Freedom from Bondage clinic while ill with the flu, where a tech introduced her to the Athens Wellness Clinic. There, she connected with Nurse Hollett and was offered the possibility of free surgery for her hip. After a successful procedure and a smooth recovery process supported by physical therapy, Tiffany is now pain-free and able to enjoy activities like hiking, long walks, and spending time at the river—things she had once thought impossible. Thanks to the Athens Wellness Clinic, Tiffany is now living the life she always dreamed of! Read Tiffany’s FULL PATIENT STORY HERE!

With the help of a highly-skilled AWC Spanish language interpreter to overcome language barriers to accessible healthcare, Yeimi worked with AWC’s team of providers to both treat and manage her blood sugar levels using a combination of prescription medication and lifestyle changes. Thanks to Yeimi’s persistence and dedication in fighting this debilitating disease, she has made significant improvements and her healthy lifestyle changes have given her a renewed sense of optimism and a more positive outlook on life.

In 2022, she faced a new challenge with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis and an alarming HgA1c level of 11%. Through collaborative efforts, the clinic provided lifestyle coaching, free metformin via our mail-order pharmacy partner, and insulin at no cost through our patient assistance program. Angela's commitment, coupled with the clinic's support, stabilized her A1c at 6% for over a year. https://www.athenswellnessclinic.org/blog-patient-stories/category/PATIENTS monthly 0.5

In 1993, with the help of many local nurses and volunteers, we became the Athens Nurses Clinic (ANC). Located on Reese Street in Athens, Georgia, ANC opened its doors not only to homeless members of the Athens-Clarke County community, but also to the uninsured and indigent members of the broader Northeast Georgia community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/11eec36e-2abe-4257-a641-f4372bb436b1/Athens+Wellness+Clinic+sign+on+table+in+front+of+window.jpg About AWC - Growth In 2016, ANC moved to North Avenue in Athens and collaborated with three other agencies as a part of the Athens Resource Center for Hope. Continuously assessing and responding to the needs of our community, ANC expanded not only its programs and services, but also its volunteer providers. No longer a staff of only nurse practitioners, the addition of physicians, medical personnel, and interns led to a new organizational structure and, in 2023, a new name: the Athens Wellness Clinic. With our rebranding came the opportunity to adapt our vision and mission to reflect our evolving approach to patient-centered healthcare delivery. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/460a6c0b-ebfb-408a-8810-de3d9dcfcd8a/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/460a6c0b-ebfb-408a-8810-de3d9dcfcd8a/thumbnail About AWC AWC history, vision, and mission https://www.athenswellnessclinic.org/becoming-a-patient daily 0.75 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/6b876dab-2cd2-4a2e-ab3f-93b690e6115c/Primary+Care-color-for+web.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/4cdfd7bf-9301-424e-8136-2383b2bd630c/Laboratory+Services-color-web.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/986eb1c4-a11a-4383-bfc3-bb2d52bdfb6c/holistic+health-icon.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/7e94dd6d-f408-485c-ac90-a18b57d0f5dc/Website+Image.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/36ec6712-1c9a-416a-bc26-51fb524c9c65/_DSF6863.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/1718716175484-DJJP8D3BBJ6YANC5OYGU/Melisa.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/2cc97ffb-fa7c-4b3d-affc-344871cbb322/Volunteer2.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/85a0e6ca-b373-41c3-9d6e-ad4f6e57cca9/IMG_0063.JPG How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/1710176563145-TXRWHQ4W12W0F2ZVCD7O/VolunteerSpotlight2.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/63bc7d99-164d-48b1-a625-a647dafc1b8b/Patients6.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/1709066694510-V5LHL69Y2EMJVZFOJ6SV/Patients5.jpg How to Become a Patient https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/ec132f64-55b9-4828-a712-d347e5d9e132/_DSF7125+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/1709066666644-6ZG0AR10SF17DWCPW86L/Patients1.jpg How to Become a Patient - Prospective Patients Many patients who visit AWC for the first time have not seen a healthcare provider in several years. During their initial visit, they have a comprehensive appointment with a nurse practitioner or doctor, including a complete lab workup when clinically indicated. This first appointment, scheduled based on the patient's individual needs, is crucial for establishing trust. The provider takes the time to get to know the patient as a person, conducts a thorough physical examination, prescribes medication if necessary, and refers the patient to our other internal clinics or specialists for further testing or treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/49b7387e-3c29-4799-98ad-dca7c60af24d/FPL+Guidelines.jpg How to Become a Patient - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/14ee3834-25bd-4b96-b33e-cdf8e3ede534/Proof+of+Income.jpg How to Become a Patient - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/2d82e033-f465-48f8-b181-db8774d3d435/FPL+Calculator.jpg How to Become a Patient - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/eab52537-b4b9-4a57-a1f9-572080aeab5e/Need+Assistance.jpg How to Become a Patient - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/876dee4f-4da3-4872-88e6-c3a3f6af4e2e/Screensho+%283%29.png How to Become a Patient - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.athenswellnessclinic.org/privacy daily 0.75 2024-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/a5377157-dbb1-4785-a29a-a1382a821dee/Privacy+Mockup+FINAL.jpg https://www.athenswellnessclinic.org/board daily 0.75 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/ea223596-6ca2-4a95-b7d5-7c4c49d0c9cc/russ-cook.jpg Board - Russ Cook has been employed in public education for over 48 years.

smart alternative to a lengthy wait at a hospital emergency room (ER), and qualified patients can walk in for an acute care visit during our morning walk-in hours. Often, common issues such as colds, urinary tract infections, or rashes can be addressed without spending hours in an ER waiting room, where resources are limited and expensive. We may be able to suggest a free medication or affordable over-the-counter remedy to address the issue. Because we can treat these issues at the clinic, we conserve valuable healthcare resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/4a852aab-522a-4604-b88a-26427ef3ee2f/close-up-hands-holding-covid-sample.jpg Healthcare Services Offered - Hepatitis C Treatment AWC is one of the few organizations in Northeast Georgia offering free Hepatitis C testing and treatment as part of our Infectious Disease Clinic. To access our services, prospective patients must complete a simple enrollment process. Once enrolled, patients meet with one of our experienced providers during which a complete medical history, physical exam, and lab work with a hepatitis panel are performed. Following this visit, non-invasive imaging is completed which helps individualize the Hepatitis C treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/3de21e07-eb3f-43be-8bb8-d9009ce7d882/IMG_6730.jpg Healthcare Services Offered - Primary Care AWC’s Primary Care program is a person-centered, team-based, community-aligned program designed to improve individual health and well-being. We specialize in chronic disease management and treat common diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, gout, asthma, gastric reflux (GERD), and thyroid disorders. We do not provide Diabetic Prevention Program and immunizations at this time. Our primary care program includes preventative care such as wellness visits, physicals, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/840f51bc-a759-4025-9e5a-d98fc9efadbc/IMG_6684+%281%29-EDIT.jpg Healthcare Services Offered - Prescription Medications Program AWC offers a Patient Assistance Program (PAP) as part of our commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare to our patients. Our PAP plays a vital role in helping us obtain high-cost medications through pharmaceutical company's patient assistance programs. This program enables us to provide millions of dollars' worth of medications to our patients at no cost to them. In addition to our PAP, we reliably provide a broad array of prescription medications to our patients at no cost to them. Working with Buy Wise Pharmacy for short-term supplies and Good Pill Pharmacy for 90-day supplies, we ensure immediate access and medication adherence. Electronic prescribing streamlines the process, sending prescriptions directly to the designated pharmacy. Medications processed through Good Pill Pharmacy are conveniently delivered to our clinic for patient pickup. Our dedication to providing reliable, no-cost prescription medications enhances convenience and accessibility for the healthcare needs of our patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658f1ad7ab16e223d25a8746/8c190d2c-5a32-497c-a8a9-8879b6770e09/Screenshot+2026-01-14+at+1.50.47%E2%80%AFPM.png Healthcare Services Offered - Dental Care AWC’s Dental Clinic program offers state-of-the-art comprehensive dental services that both treat and prevent dental issues.
