Dream Center Clinic
The city of North Charleston was chosen as the clinic's first location for a number of reasons. In a vibrant city that draws more than two million visitors each year, Charleston's workforce consists primarily of people working in the service industry. In North Charleston and Hanahan areas, the relatively low cost of housing and adequate public transportation have increased the concentration of these residents. Most of these residents are employed in jobs that do not provide health insurance to their employees. The city was also ranked as one of the 15 regions with the highest crime rates in the country.
The Dream Center Clinic (DCC) is a faith based free medical clinic. Their purpose is to provide routine, outpatient health and wellness services to the medically underserved residents of North Charleston, Hanahan, and West Ashley in South Carolina. The primary focus is on uninsured families, whose income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The DCC relies on medical and nonmedical volunteers to provide services at the clinic during hours that are convenient to patients.
