Most of Alabama's Black Belt counties have less than 1 physician for every 1000 people. In Lowndes County, there is 1 physician for 10,000 people.
In each of the Black Belt counties, between 22% and 37% of the population is below the poverty level.
With your help, patients will be able to receive direct treatment and referrals as needed. The Community Care Network doctors and medical volunteers are ready for action!
The Community Care Network (CCN) is a grassroots/community-based, non-profit organization that began in the summer of 2000. Dr. Leon Davis and other physicians, clergy, healthcare professionals, Capital City Medical Society, Montgomery County Health Department, community centers, community leaders and many others joined together as a coalition to evolve a local health ministry.
  CCN's mission is to utilize the medical community in union with faith-based organizations, the county health department and various other entities to provide medical screenings, medical education, medical resources and enhanced healthcare access to the uninsured / underinsured, and under-served population.
Our goal is to become the leading force in eliminating health disparities that exist in our community by working with local churches, community centers, and others, to conduct health fairs that promote healthy lifestyles through education, early detection / screening, provision of medical resources and referrals for FREE or low cost healthcare.
Community Care Network needs the help of people like you to sustain all of our efforts.
