Fulton County has a new weapon in its arsenal to address health disparities.

The new and expanded Adamsville Regional Health Center recently opened at 3700 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. S.W. The center will improve access to integrated, quality and coordinated healthcare primarily for the Adamsville, Carroll Heights and Center Hill communities.  It's also open to any Fulton County resident. Services include primary care, behavioral health services, employment assistance, a drop-off  day care center for clients and dental services.

The site also includes a community garden and space for visiting farmer’s markets and a walking trail.
