Dear Visitors-
At the Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council, our partners are constantly looking for ways to serve you better with added services and extended hours as opportunities become available. Below you will see a summary of the most recent progress:
- Curtis V. Cooper Primary Health Care has added a pediatrician on staff this month, with a second pediatrician expected in September 2009. These physicians will add new opportunities for your children to get the care they need. Join us in welcoming them to Savannah and to the Safety Net family of providers!
