Rosa Clark clinic returns to Walhalla
By Dick Mangrum,
2026-05-15The health care clinic that originated in Walhalla about 45 years ago and then moved to Seneca is back in the County Seat, in the form of a satellite operation of the Rosa Clark Medical Clinic. Named for a famous Oconee midwife around the mid-20th century, Rosa Clark is now in the county’s three largest municipalities. Besides Walhalla, it has facilities in Seneca and Westminster. State Senator Thomas Alexander cut a ceremonial red ribbon. The location is a brand new, two-story building off highway 28 behind the Zaxby’s restaurant. And Vickie Thompson, Rosa Clark’s CEO says, “We finally found the right location and the right grant opportunities to get this done.” The federally qualified health center starting Monday will offer primary care for all ages, along with a pharmacy. And soon it’ll have dental care and mental health care. How did it come to be? Thompson gave this explanation: “In 2024 we received two grants, one a Federal Grant to be used for capital grant expenditures in the amount of $589,000 and a State grant in the amount of $3,000,000 under the Rural and Medically Underserved Capital Grant opportunity.”
