Southside Medical Center (SMC) is strengthening its commitment to community health with the launch of two school-based clinics in partnership with Lee Street Elementary in Jonesboro and Huie Elementary School in Forest Park. Both initiatives were recently celebrated with successful ribbon-cutting ceremonies, marking a major step forward in expanding access to healthcare for students and their families.
Located at Lee Street Elementary, 178 Lee Street, Jonesboro, GA 30236, and Huie Elementary School, 1260 Rock Cut Road, Forest Park, GA 30297, the clinics are designed to bring quality, accessible healthcare directly into the school environment, removing barriers that often prevent students from receiving timely care.
School-based clinics play a vital role in improving student outcomes by keeping children healthy, reducing absenteeism, and supporting their ability to focus and thrive in the classroom.
“Partnerships like these are critical to ensuring our children have every opportunity to succeed,” said Dr. David Williams. “When we bring healthcare directly into schools, we remove barriers for families and create an environment where students can stay healthy, focused, and ready to learn. Southside Medical Center is proud to collaborate with Lee Street and Huie Elementary to support the well-being and future of our communities.”
The collaboration reflects a shared commitment between Southside Medical Center and Clayton County schools to address the holistic needs of students, recognizing that health and education go hand in hand.
The clinics will provide convenient, high-quality care during regular operating hours:
Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Families can schedule appointments or learn more about services by calling 404-564-7070.
