MedCura Health (formerly Oakhurst Medical Centers) provides affordable, accessible, and quality primary care services to ethnically diverse patients and their families through its seven practice site locations. As a grassroots medical option for the underserved and uninsured, MedCura saves the county and state money by providing primary care to those who would typically seek help in an emergency room setting for non-emergency problems. It continues to be the healthcare safety net it was when it was originally founded in 1978 in DeKalb County in the Oakhurst community.
The practice was created by Oakhurst resident and Decatur Mayor Emeritus Elizabeth Wilson (1993-1998) out of her strong advocacy for the elderly and poor residents in her community and the disparity in healthcare services. The medical center grew quickly from virtually no funding and one or two staff volunteers to a budget of $6 million and a multi-disciplined staff including doctors, nurses, social workers, a nutritionist, a contract dentist and an ophthalmologist. Its impact on the community was significant, providing preventive care to hundreds of medically underserved area residents.
