A free clinic near Lithonia that has helped an increasing number of uninsured and poor people get health care recently celebrated its fifth year with little fanfare.

The South DeKalb Center for Healthy Living helped more than 1,500 patients receive care in its first year in 2007.

It has since helped give free care to nearly 6,500 other uninsured and low-income residents, while struggling to maintain volunteers and donations to stay open.

For information or to make a donation, contact the center at 2699 Klondike Road, Lithonia or at 770-484-2777.
