As we continue this week, we’re honored to share a heartfelt reflection from Latanya Hammonds-Odie, Ph.D., Good Samaritan Health Centers of Gwinnett Board Member and longtime champion of students, learning, and community care.

Dr. Latanya Hammonds-Odie has spent years mentoring Biology majors at Georgia Gwinnett College — many of whom found purpose, confidence, and calling by interning and volunteering at Good Samaritan Health Centers of Gwinnett. Her journey to saying “yes” to board service began with watching her students flourish here, and deepened as she learned how Good Samaritan Health Centers of Gwinnett opens its doors not only to patients, but to future healthcare professionals seeking a place to grow.

Our Good Samaritan Health Centers of Gwinnett team had the privilege of visiting the beautiful Lightway Recovery Wellness Center for Women in Flowery Branch. Their staff welcomed us with such warmth as they shared how they walk alongside women on their journey toward healing, stability, and renewed hope.

During our time together, we also had the opportunity to mention our Access Academy Medical Assisting Program as one of the career-pathway options available to women seeking a fresh start and a renewed sense of purpose.

We are deeply grateful for community partners like Lightway Recovery Wellness Center for Women who are committed to restoration, empowerment, and walking in faith as they serve women daily. We look forward to continuing to build this partnership in ways that uplift the women they serve and help open doors to brighter futures.
