On January 25, 2016, Dr. LeRoy M. Graham, Jr., spoke to the Rotary Club of Sandy Springs about the nonprofit medical clinic he has founded called Bridge Atlanta Medical Center. Located in Gwinnett County, the clinic is designed to serve the poor and working poor, many of whom have insurance but the high deductibles don't cover medical treatment costs. Dr. Graham, who is just retired, was Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Morehouse School of Medicine and Staff Physician at Scottish Rite Children’s Medical Center, Hughes Spalding Children’s Hospital, and Egleston Children’s Hospital, all located in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a former partner at Georgia Pediatric Pulmonology Associates, PC, a private practice in Atlanta. According to the website, Bridge Atlanta Medical Center will "provide affordable primary and specialty health care in a Christian faith-based environment for uninsured and underserved individuals and families in our community."
