MEDICAL CLINIC
The Good Samaritan Health Clinic provides
non-emergency adult primary care for ailments such as diabetes,
heart disease, hypertension, thyroid disorders, infections, colds,
etc.
The Clinic is NOT an emergency facility,
nor is it a walk-in facility.
All patients must be pre-qualified and have an
appointment in order to see the volunteer physicians.
If medication is deemed necessary, the in-Clinic
pharmacy usually can fill over 99% of the prescribed
prescriptions.
See more information on the PHARMACY below.
The General Medical Clinic operates:
Tuesday and
Thursday 4:00pm to approximately 7:00 – 8:00pm.
PATIENTS SEEN BY APPOINTMENT
ONLY
All patients MUST pre-qualify financially prior
to receiving an appointment.
PATIENT ELIGIBILITY
Adult
Pasco County residents up to age 65 who are uninsured and are

does not treat patients who qualify for Medicare or are military
veterans. Only routine (non-emergency) medical
conditions are treated. Application
and financial screening to meet eligibility requirements must be
completed prior to receiving a medical or dental appointment.

PHARMACY
The Good Samaritan Health Clinic has eight (5)
Registered Pharmacists available and the Pharmacy is
open during Clinic hours.
The Pharmacy stocks most primary routine
medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., as
well as antibiotics. The Pharmacy does not stock, nor will our volunteer
physicians write prescriptions for narcotics for pain
relief, psychiatric medications or birth control pills.
Our Pharmacy is able to provide the patients with
over 99% of needed medications.
We are able to do this thanks to the generosity
of our volunteer physicians and pharmacy representatives
who donate medication samples.
We are also very fortunate to receive a grant
from the Community Development Block Grant Division of
Pasco County Government whereby we are able to purchase
medications at wholesale costs.
If you
have sample medications that are not outdated, the clinic would
appreciate your donations. We cannot accept outdated or opened
containers.
