Bluegrass and BBQ invitations are printing, y'all! 🙌
We apologize for sending them a little later than we normally do; however, it’s for great reason! Due to the incredible response we've had this year from both returning and new event sponsors, it took us a bit more time to add them to the invitation and get them ready to print!
Our friends at PrintSource, Newnan Georgia just sent us this video of our 2021 invitations being printed right this moment! Plans are for them to be mailed Monday, so please be on the lookout for your invite in the mail by the middle of the week next week!
And don't worry, you'll still have plenty of time to send in your reply, and we certainly welcome you to take a look at our list of awesome sponsors and purchase your tickets online at www.cowetasamaritanclinic.org/bbq!

Merry Christmas from our Coweta Samaritan Clinic staff!! Have a wonderful holiday, and we look forward to seeing you on January 5 when the Clinic reopens. #cowetasamaritan #cowetahealthcare

Newnan Presbyterian Church Donates Hygiene Kits
Thank you, Newnan Presbyterian Church! Coweta Samaritan Clinic is so grateful for your ongoing generosity, and our patients will enjoy having the many hygiene kits your members assembled and donated. We love our giving community!!
It's a big day at the Clinic! For the first time since March, 14 patients will come inside the Clinic for needed lab work. During last week's staff training, we learned the new protocol and walked through the steps of a patient visit. We're excited to resume this vital service! As always, the safety of patients and staff is our top priority. Telemedicine visits will continue, and we're planning how and when patients can begin to come into the Clinic for appointments with their primary care provider. Stay tuned for more good news . . .

Oh, yes. It's on! Save the evening of October 4th for our 10th annual Bluegrass & Barbeque! We're hoping for a full-scale celebration AND creating Plan B in case we need a socially distant, safe back-up. Don't worry, you'll still get your barbeque & bluegrass!! We can't wait to get together again with some of our favorite chefs! This could be a great sponsorship for your business or organization--see details at https://cowetasamaritanclinic.networkforgood.com/projects/100535-2020-bluegrass-and-bbq-sponsorship❤️ 🐖 🐷 😍
Our volunteers are staying busy until it’s safe for them to return to the Clinic. So what are our volunteers doing?Here’s a sample from Amy Jones:
“Why, playing in the dirt of course!!! It makes me so happy!! Some painting and stamping bracelets. I started a home-based jewelry business shortly before this virus started. Needless to say, I have had to cancel my Open Trunk debut twice. Disappointing, but it is what it is. What brought me to the Clinic? Years of admiration of their dedication to our community. And after years of being primary caregiver to my parents, feeling lost as to ‘what do I do now,’ I decided to focus on the Samaritan Clinic. It is such a warm and welcoming environment! I’ve been there since Oct 2018, and I feel so blessed to be a part of it.”
Amy, we can’t wait to have our volunteers back in the Clinic!
