Yourtown Health

YourTown Health—formerly Palmetto Health Council, Inc. (PHC) was formed in 1978 by a group of citizens in Palmetto, Georgia, to increase access to health care services for this rural community. PCH secured federal funds to establish a Federally Qualified Health Center, Community Medical Center of Palmetto, in April 1980. In 2013, to better describe its services, Palmetto Health Council was renamed YourTown Health.   

YourTown Health is a non-profit FQHC network of seven Community Health Centers serving the West Georgia counties of Meriwether, Pike, Lamar, Carroll, Coweta, and South Fulton for over 40 years. This FQHC network of health centers offers pediatric and adolescent, family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, dentistry, school and occupational health, telehealth, urgent care, and pharmacy services.
