Cobb Commissioners approved an agreement with WellStar Health System on Tuesday for the company to operate a wellness clinic in the county's new senior facility on Powder Springs Street in Marietta.
WellStar will provide preventative and chronic health care for Cobb seniors age 55 to 64 with incomes at or below 125% of the federal poverty level, have no health insurance, are not eligible for Medicare and need services that are not eligible for Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement. The county is providing the space and WellStar is responsible for the furnishings, costs to operate the clinic, including utilities.
A formal signing ceremony and tour is set for Thursday. The clinic is set to open late next month.
