You may notice some changes when it is time for your next appointment
Our staff will call you beforehand and ask some screening questions. You will be asked those same questions again when you are in the office
If you have any symptoms consistent with COVID-19 DO NOT come to the clinic. Please call and reschedule.
If coming for an appointment, please call us when you get here if you are able to do so. We may ask you to wait in your car to reduce the the number of people in the waiting room.
We will be spacing out appointments to allow for social distancing between patients. This means you will be offered fewer options for scheduling appointments
Please DO NOT bring others along with you to your appointment. We will provide proper protective equipment to you if you do not have your own.
We look forward to resuming normal practices soon and thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep us all safe and healthy! We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

The Athens Nurses Clinic (ANC) has its roots planted in providing healthcare to the homeless, indigent members of Athens-Clarke County since 1988 as the Georgia Nurses Association Foundation Clinic for the Homeless. In 1993, with the help of many local nurses and volunteers, The Athens Nurses Clinic moved to Reese Street, opening its doors to not just homeless members of Athens-Clarke County, but also to the uninsured, indigent members of Athens-Clarke County and Northeast Georgia.
In 2014, ANC moved to North Avenue and collaborated with three other agencies as a part of the Athens Resource Center for Hope. ANC is now open five days a week providing healthcare services and medications to patients at no cost. Services include the treatment of many chronic conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, gastric re-flux, asthma, allergies, and arthritis. ANC also accepts walk-in patients Monday-Thursday for the treatment of acute conditions, such as colds, flu, UTIs, rashes, or tooth abscesses. ANC also provides laboratory testing, free mammograms, pap smears, vision screening, dental care, and Hepatitis C treatment.
The mission of the Athens Nurses Clinic extends far beyond providing medical treatment to patients, focusing heavily on education and disease prevention. ANC provides a year-long CDC approved Diabetic Prevention Program for the community, encouraging diabetic patients to bring family and friends to tag along. Nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation classes are offered to patients who want to lose weight, improve their health, and decrease their stress levels. Recently, the clinic has partnered with SNAP educators, UGA, and the Athens Farmers Market to implement what is called the FVRx program. Through this program, enrolled patients attend classes focused on healthy lifestyle choices and receive prescriptions for free fruits and vegetables from the local Farmers Market. Equipping patients with the knowledge needed to improve or prevent acute and chronic disease is a key function to the standard of healthcare ANC provides.
ANC is thankful for the generous support it receives from all of its donors and for its lasting relationship with Piedmont Athens Regional. Without donations, the clinic could not continue to provide the quality of care, medications, or services that it does today.
We will take good care of you!
