In a response to love and serve the community in a practical way, Southland birthed a vision to fund medical and dental clinics to serve the uninsured in Jessamine and Fayette Counties. It was a response to the tremendous need for primary and dental care for the under-served within the community. Refuge Ministries, a separate non-profit organization was created to accomplish this task through the Refuge Clinic. The Refuge Clinic operates as an expression of Christ and seeks to connect the hurting to health. We recognize that every life has infinite value and worth and aim to make true health obtainable physically, spiritually, and mentally for those we serve. Since opening the doors in 2008, the Refuge Clinic now serves over 3,500 uninsured and under-served residents of Fayette and Jessamine Counties. The estimated cost savings for patients is over $3 million dollars.
