The J.C. Lewis Primary Healthcare Center is a private non-profit 501 (C) healthcare facility.  It was founded in 1999 by the leadership of Union Mission, Inc., concerned with addressing the healthcare issue of the homeless and the under-served in the Savannah community.  In 2019, J.C. Lewis Health* purchased an existing one story structure on an out parcel at Oglethorpe Mall in order to better reach the qualifying population in south Chatham County.

​

The original  facility was built in the 1970’s and was in need of a complete renovation including interior, exterior, and site/grounds to meet the needs of JC Lewis Health.  Renovations were master planned into 2 phases of construction based on funding.  The scope included typical healthcare spaces as well as a new roof, exterior façade improvements, parking improvements and emergency generator connection. The renovated facility has ample, convenient  parking for staff and customers.
