Since its founding in April 2017, Point Washington Medical Clinic (PWMC) has been a cornerstone of healthcare in Walton County dedicated to providing high-quality primary care to those who need it most. The clinic’s mission has remained steadfast: to build a stronger, healthier community by offering inclusive healthcare regardless of a patient’s financial means or access to resources.
This year marks a significant milestone for PWMC, with several exciting developments expanding its ability to serve the community. In January, the clinic moved into its new permanent building, dramatically increasing its capacity to provide essential medical services. This growth has allowed PWMC to introduce several new programs that directly address community healthcare needs.
In June, the clinic launched its dental services, quickly serving nearly 100 patients and filling a critical gap in local healthcare. Complementing these dental services, PWMC has also introduced physical therapy sessions, with a volunteer physical therapist receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients. Looking ahead, the clinic is preparing to launch a mental wellness program in November 2024, adding a licensed clinical social worker to provide much-needed mental health support.
Throughout its journey, PWMC has made a remarkable impact. The clinic has served thousands of patients and generated over $4 million in healthcare savings. Its approach goes far beyond simple medical treatment, focusing on keeping children in school, supporting workers, and reducing the burden on local emergency rooms. By providing radically inclusive healthcare, PWMC has become a vital resource for those who are often underserved in Walton and surrounding counties.
Point Washington Medical Clinic stands as a testament to the power of compassionate, accessible healthcare. With each new service and each patient treated, the clinic moves closer to its goal of creating a healthier community for all. As the community continues to grow, so do the clinic’s needs. PWMC remains committed to meeting community members where they are, offering comprehensive care that supports the most vulnerable. The clinic invites community members to support their mission of building a healthier, stronger community through donations and continued support.
