White House Clinics, established in 1973, has eight sites in Central and Eastern Kentucky. After finishing a stint in the Peace Corps, Dr. Philip Curd established the first White House Clinic in Jackson County, Kentucky, in a small, white a-framed house. Dr. Curd was committed to the Jackson County community and the people of Appalachia and served the community as a physician, accepting anyone as a patient, regardless of their ability to pay.
White House Clinics has continued to expand on Dr. Curd’s vision providing affordable health care to communities in need, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. Currently, White House Clinics operates in five contiguous counties offering medical, dental, pharmacy, behavioral health, radiology, and enabling services. In addition to the seven traditional health clinics, White House Clinics also operates a school-based health center in the Berea Independent School District and serves as the college health services provider for Berea College.
