Our Story

Founded on a radical idea: healthcare is a right

In 2003, Dr. Amara Osei — then a family physician at Vanderbilt — walked away from a comfortable practice to open a sliding-scale clinic in a leased strip mall space on Gallatin Avenue. She had watched too many patients delay care until emergencies because they couldn't afford a visit. She decided to change the calculation in one neighbourhood at a time.

Today, Eastside Community Health employs 14 full-time staff, operates across 8,000 sq ft, and serves over 3,200 patients annually. We hold FQHC designation, meaning federal funding supports our ability to offer care regardless of ability to pay.

Help us keep the doors open for everyone

We receive federal FQHC funding, but community donations make the difference between good care and exceptional care. Every dollar helps us hire translators, upgrade equipment, and keep evening hours for working families.
