The Good Samaritan Health Center Story

It started with a calling: “Go and do the same.” That calling is what started Dr. Bill Warren thinking about the Parable of the Good Samaritan and pondering the question, “Who is my neighbor?”

Giving up the stability and career at a thriving Pediatric practice to seek out the inner-city communities with the greatest need was an act of faith few would consider. But against all odds and through many trials, in February 1998, The Good Samaritan Health Center, a nonprofit clinic serving the poor and uninsured of Atlanta, Georgia, was born.

As a patient once said, “The Samaritan didn’t ask questions; he extended himself in love,” and that is what Dr. Warren and his team have done with The Good Samaritan Health Center. In these pages, Dr. Warren takes us on the journey of the risks and rewards of following a calling and creating a place to help and heal people with nowhere else to go, spreading God’s love in the process.
