AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Augusta Free Dermatology Clinic is powered by young people looking to help their community.
It is open every other month on the first Monday of that month from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Centro Medico on Merry Street.
A group of medical students from the Medical College of Georgia have come together to provide services to those in the CSRA, especially for those without insurance.
“I don’t think dermatology is a service that people jump to when they fully need it at first. I think it’s something that is a big luxury for people to have and be able to afford. So, we wanted to be able to provide for patients that are under or uninsured,” said Mitchell Hanson, president of the clinic.
Along with not having insurance, patients also have to be under the federal poverty line to qualify for the service.
Services include a free annual bodily screen exam, biopsies in some circumstances, spot examinations, evaluation of rashes, and prescriptions.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – It’s been more than 100 days since Hurricane Helene came through our area.
Now, those in the CSRA are still cleaning up the aftermath.
On Saturday, Rooting for Augusta helped the area get back to normal.
“Every once in a while, we have a horrific event that unites us all, and we certainly had it with the storm. Everybody can agree that it’s a good thing to plant trees back in the right spots,” said Dennis Trotter with Rooting for Augusta.
Rooting for Augusta gave away 700 trees as part of the event.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – After swearing in 100 new deputies at the beginning of his tenure, Richmond County Sheriff Eugene Brantley also addressed promotions and appointments for those in the sheriff’s office.
It happened on Friday before the winter weather got underway and impacted the region.
Brantley spoke with us after about why the new promotions, appointments and people in the sheriff’s office will benefit the community.
“For the most part, when you’re suffering from a shortage of staff like we have been and so many other agencies in the state of Georgia and around the country, I think it is a boost in the arm to onboard 100 people to help get things that we need slow down crime and stop what is plaguing our community,” said Brantley.
Brantley said it was the first step to making the community safer.
He says he has been working on improving the jail as well.
