2022 Stewardship Report
The mission of the DEO Clinic is to provide competent, compassionate care to adults in Whitfield and Murray County who do not have health insurance and lack the financial resources to access health care.
Patients have an eligibility interview once a year.
Patient qualifications:
DEO’s mission incorporates the moral imperative to treat our fellow humans with dignity. Our approach includes giving patients the information they need to live healthier lives, encouraging them to follow recommended lifestyle changes and respecting their right to make individual choices.
We believe all people have inherent value, should be treated with dignity and have access to healthcare.
Clinic Growth
In December of 2021, the Medical Access Clinic at the Health Department was closed due to budget cuts. DEO has accepted all new patients who qualify.
