Lamar Medical Center/Beulah Grove Community Resource Center

The Center for Community Health began as collaboration between Beulah Grove Community Resource Center and University Hospital to address those needs found in a 1993 community assessment conducted by the CSRA Partnership for Community Health. The assessment found the 30901 zip code had profound incidences of diseases, crime, poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, a disproportionate high incidence of mental health inpatient and outpatient admission and treatments, and limited access to health care.

In 1996, in response to needs identified by Beulah Grove Community Resource Center, Inc. services were expanded to include a primary health care clinic. On June 3, 2006, the Center for Community Health became the Lamar Medical Center in honor of Ms. Lucy C. Laney’s vision of the first black nursing school in Georgia, Lamar School of Nursing.
