Serving the Sojourner in America's Most Diverse Square Mile

Robert Contino, MD, CEO with Sean Lindsey, MD

Clarkston, Georgia has been a center for refugee resettlement since the 1980s. As a result, this small town just outside Atlanta has earned the title of “America’s most diverse square mile.” In 2017 Ethne Health was founded as a primary care clinic to serve this population and show Jesus’ love. In this session, the founding physicians of Ethne will explore the unique challenges of providing holistic care for refugees in a primary care setting. We will review how a person becomes a refugee, discuss the biblical mandate for refugee care, and tell the story of how Clarkston's unique makeup Clarkston has shaped our response to Jesus’s command to “love thy neighbor.”
