Albany, Georgia

In a Town Dominated by One Hospital,

the Uninsured Turn to This Free Clinic

In a Town Dominated by One Hospital,

the Uninsured Turn to This Free Clinic | Albany, Georgia

video    ProPublica    19 December 2025

 

The Samaritan Clinic is a small, free clinic

serving people without health insurance in Albany, Georgia.

 

It was created in 2008 to provide care

for people who couldn’t afford medical treatment.

 

More than 15 years later, the need has changed little.

 

Today,

Albany has one of the highest poverty rates in the state.

 

About 16% of residents are uninsured,

nearly double the national average.

 

And people here

pay some of the highest commercial health insurance rates

in the country.

 

Not far from the Samaritan Clinic is Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital,

Southwest Georgia’s largest hospital

— a nonprofit founded on the principle

that patients should be treated regardless of their ability to pay.

 

So why do some residents turn to a free clinic for care?

 

This short documentary is part of our five-part series

“Sick in a Hospital Town,”

about why people in Albany are so sick

when the city’s dominant institution is a hospital.

Key moments from the Trump-Mamdani Oval Office news conference

Guardian News    video    22 November 2025

 

Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City,

and Donald Trump had a 'productive' meeting in the Oval Office.

 

The president repeatedly stepped in to defend Mamdani

from hostile questioning from outlets such as the New York Post and Fox News,

while Mamdani was relentlessly focused on the issue of making New York

a more fair and affordable place to live.

 

Here are some key moments

from their conversation with members of the press.
