A look at this October’s impact! Every number represents someone in our community receiving the care, support, and compassion they deserve. Thank you to our amazing donors and community partners who make it all possible!

💙 Happy National Nurse Practitioner Week! 💙 This week, we celebrate and recognize the incredible Nurse Practitioners who make a difference every day! The Urban Clinic of Atlanta and Good Shepherd Clinic are grateful for the compassion, dedication, and expertise of our NPs and the vital role they play in caring for our community. Celebrating our amazing team: Susan Whatley, APRN, FNP-C – Executive Director/Founder Millie Brabham, APRN, FNP-C – Staff Elizabeth Wilson, APRN, FNP-C – Staff Betty Neal – Retired Nurse Practitioner & Board Member Thank you for all you do! We appreciate you!

One month later and we are still smiling from our 10th Anniversary Celebration! The energy in the room, the incredible generosity, the support of our community partners, and the shared commitment to ensuring everyone has access to healthcare made this milestone so special. We are still feeling the love and are excited to share a few more favorite moments captured by our friend, @melanie.jones.photos! Thank you for being part of our story and helping us celebrate 10 years of care, compassion, and community.

Happy Medical Assistants Day! Today, we are celebrating Eshan Shah, Alayna Hashmi, Xiomara De Los Angeles, and Vibha Mohan, who play such an important role in our team at both clinic locations. From triaging patients and keeping daily care running smoothly to jumping in wherever they are needed, including supporting our mobile dental clinics, our medical assistants make a difference every day. Their flexibility, compassion, and dedication help us provide the best possible care to our patients. Thank you for all you do for our patients and our team. We are so grateful for you!

At UCA, care is about more than just appointments, it is about building relationships, trust, and a sense of comfort. Knowing our patients by name and providing consistent, compassionate care helps create a welcoming environment where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported. Because everyone deserves healthcare where they feel cared for. 💙

A few weeks ago, our clinic team across both locations took time to focus on self-care and meaningful conversations about empathy and compassion. Because caring for others starts with caring for ourselves!

Mental health is essential health care, and no one should have to navigate life’s challenges alone due to a lack of insurance or financial resources. This World Mental Health Day on October 10, we are reminding our community that help at our clinic is always within reach. Our clinic offers no-cost mental health support, as well as specialty referrals. Whether you or a loved one is seeking counseling, a diagnosis, or mental health treatment, support is available without the barrier of cost. Remember, Compassion Heals. Visit urbanclinic.org to connect with the care you need today. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #CompassionHeals

September was a busy month across the board! From celebrating 10 years of service to providing patient care across both of our locations, our team has been hard at work serving our community. We also kicked off flu shot season! For established UCA/GSC patients: You can receive your flu shot during your regularly scheduled appointment or send us a message through the patient portal to schedule a flu-shot-only appointment. Here’s to keeping our community healthy this fall & winter!

It is National PA Week! We are thrilled to celebrate our very own Lauretta Nester, PA-C, who serves our Good Shepherd location. Thank you, Lauretta, for all you do!

10 years of care. 10 years of impact. As we celebrate our clinic’s 10th anniversary, we are reflecting on the people and stories behind this journey. One patient recently shared: “Great organization with phenomenal professionals. 10/10. I’ve used this clinic in two different seasons of my life that I needed free care, procedures, and medications. I receive better care (including referrals to specialized care) here than I do with my insured healthcare experiences. Which says a lot. The staff are angels and I’m grateful for their service.” This is what 10 years of community care looks like. Join us September 27 at the Delta Flight Museum as we celebrate this milestone and the patients, volunteers, staff, community partners, and supporters who have made it possible. Secure your tickets or table today: urbanclinic.org/anniversary (link in bio).

Today, July 10, is Chronic Disease Awareness Day. 🩺❤️ Managing a chronic condition like diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease takes a village - but for thousands of uninsured Georgians, access to consistent care can feel out of reach. The Urban Clinic of Atlanta, part of the Georgia Charitable Care Network, provides a vital safety net, ensuring patients with chronic diseases receive the ongoing treatment, education, and medications they need to live healthier, fuller lives.

Do you know how The Urban Clinic of Atlanta got started? More than 10 years ago, our founder and Executive Director, Susan Whatley, was volunteering at an @urbanrecipe food co-op in Grant Park when she saw firsthand that many of the people she met had nowhere to turn for healthcare. As a nurse practitioner, she knew she could help. In a small room at that same church on Georgia Avenue, Susan began seeing patients: checking blood pressures, drawing labs, and providing compassionate, free care to uninsured neighbors. Today, that one-room clinic has grown into two locations serving nearly 900 uninsured adults each year. We are excited to celebrate this incredible journey at our UCA 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, September 27, at the Delta Flight Museum. We’d love for you to join us! Reserve your seat or table today at urbanclinic.org/anniversary. 🔗 in bio.

July is Minority Mental Health Month, a time to recognize the importance of mental health and the barriers to care that many racial and ethnic minority communities continue to face. At The Urban Clinic of Atlanta, we understand the strong connection between mental health and physical health. Conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression can impact chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension, making whole-person care essential. We are committed to providing compassionate, integrated care that supports both the physical and emotional well-being of our patients. If you are interested in learning more about our services, please visit our new patient information page at urbanclinic.org/newpatients. #MinorityMentalHealthMonth #CompassionHeals #HealthEquity
