The Lackey Free
Family Medicine Clinic grew out
of a desire that Dr. Jim Shaw and his wife,
Cooka, had to serve the needy.
In
April 1995, Dr. Shaw started seeing patients
in the back of Rising Sun Baptist Church in
Lackey, York County.
Initially there
were about two to ten patients served per
month with clinic meeting once each week.
Then York
County provided the Clinic a room in the
Charles E. Brown Community Center to operate
a clinic.
In September 2000, the
Clinic grew to the point where 100 patients
were being seen each month and a second
clinic session was offered on Monday
mornings. The vision to one day
acquire a facility in order to better serve
the physical and spiritual needs of our
patients was actualized with a wonderful dedication ceremony for our 3150 sq ft building that was held on August 10, 2003.
The Lackey Free Clinic has operated at its
new location, 1620 Old Williamsburg Road in
Yorktown, Virginia 23690 for over two and a
half years. The clinic continues to grow
in its new capacity to serve more patients
in its new building.
