Organization Description
In 1995, Dr. George W. Brumley, former Chair of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine, and his former student, Dr. Veda Johnson, established Whitefoord, Inc. to address the health and educational needs of children and families of the Whitefoord Elementary School District in southeast Atlanta. Through an in-school health center and a child development program, Dr. Brumley and Dr. Johnson made a crucial connection between health and academic success: healthy children stayed in school and achieved more.
From its roots in health and education, Whitefoord soon grew beyond the in-school health center at Whitefoord Elementary School to meet even more clinical needs of children and families. In 2003, Whitefoord established as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and after 17 years of operating health centers only in schools, opened its first-ever community-based Family Medical Center in the Kirkwood neighborhood in the fall of 2012 to treat children and adults.
Whitefoord operations currently consists of:
Whitefoord Health Center
o a 5,500 square foot, purpose designed and built ambulatory medical center opened in September 2020 providing the following clinical services
Medical
Dental
Behavioral Health
Whitefoord Elementary School Health Center
o This is the original Whitefoord school based health center location that previously served the students of Whitefoord Elementary School until the school closure in 2017
o Currently operates as a Whitefoord dental care location

o King Middle School
o KIPP Woodson Park Academy
YMCA Early Learning Center
o Whitefoord has partnered with the YMCA Early Education program to provide well child screenings at several YMCA Early Education locations
