Someone Cares partners with Wellstar to deliver accessible healthcare, including mobile services, HIV testing, and gender-affirming hormone therapy

MARIETTA, GA, UNITED STATES, November 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Addressing the barriers that many face in accessing healthcare, Someone Cares, Inc., a trusted community clinic in Marietta, has teamed up with the Wellstar Center for Health Equity to bring critical medical services to under-resourced populations across Metro Atlanta. This impactful partnership exemplifies a shared commitment to creating equitable healthcare opportunities for all.

For many, scheduling a doctor's appointment is straightforward. But for those without insurance, reliable transportation, or financial stability, accessing healthcare can be an insurmountable challenge. Someone Cares, in collaboration with Wellstar, is determined to change that narrative by offering accessible, high-quality healthcare to those who need it most.

A Comprehensive Approach to Community Care
Someone Cares serves as a lifeline for individuals facing significant barriers to healthcare. Their Marietta-based clinic provides a broad spectrum of services, including:
Primary care
Addiction treatment
Behavioral health services
Lab services, including confidential HIV/AIDS testing
Onsite pharmacy support
Diagnostic testing
Treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

In addition, Someone Cares operates two mobile units that travel across Metro Atlanta, delivering vital services such as HIV and STD testing, health screenings, education, and vaccinations directly to underserved neighborhoods.

The clinic also provides specialized, gender-affirming healthcare services for transgender individuals, including hormone therapy, further demonstrating its commitment to inclusivity.

Expanding Care with FQHC Designation
The partnership between Someone Cares and Wellstar began in 2023 as Someone Cares worked toward becoming a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Set to achieve this designation in February 2025, Someone Cares will receive federal funding to expand its services and outreach. The FQHC designation will also enable a closer collaboration with Wellstar to ensure patients have access to advanced healthcare services not available in primary care settings.

Expanding Access Through Strategic Partnerships
Someone Cares has found invaluable support through its collaboration with the Wellstar Center for Health Equity. Wellstar’s Community Clinic Network, which has been addressing health disparities across Georgia for eight years, offers tailored resources to community-based clinics like Someone Cares.
These resources include:
Lab services and medical imaging
Patient education
Reduced-cost outpatient care
Telehealth services

This partnership enables Someone Cares to enhance its offerings, ensuring vulnerable populations in Metro Atlanta have access to comprehensive, high-quality healthcare services.

“Someone Cares exemplifies the impact that can be achieved through partnerships,” said Ronnie Bass, Founder & CEO of Someone Cares. “With Wellstar’s support, we’re making great strides toward creating healthier communities by providing access to quality healthcare for those who need it most.”

Together for a Healthier Georgia
