The Living Bridge Center South in Canton

Canton, GA - The North Georgia Health District is proud to announce that our newest full-service HIV medical clinic is now celebrating a successful first year since opening last December. To date, The Living Bridge Center South in Canton has increased its overall HIV patient population by 30 percent, with roughly 80 new patients establishing services in the clinic.

In addition to increasing care and services for the general HIV population in the North Georgia Health District, comprised of Cherokee, Fannin, Gilmer, Murray, Pickens and Whitfield counties, The Living Bridge Center South has also opened a PrEP clinic, the clinic that can prevent people from being infected with HIV. Over 13 people have enrolled in the Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) clinic in Canton. In the PrEP clinic, patients can get a pill for no cost/low cost that if taken daily, can stop them from getting HIV, the virus that can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

The clinic staff in Canton has also been busy opening an STD clinic, which offers no cost/low cost exams and treatment of most major sexually transmitted diseases.

The Living Bridge Center South is the second HIV clinic to open in the North Georgia Health District, with the first established in Dalton. Both clinics offer full-service
HIV care and treatment, HIV and STD testing, a PrEP clinic, and education and support to help people remain negative.

The clinics are accepting new patients and scheduling appointments.
