WEST ASHLEY, S.C. (WCBD) – The Seacoast West Ashley Campus Church held its grand opening of the Dream Center Clinic Wednesday.

The clinic offers free basic primary and secondary medical care to people without insurance and those who are at or below 200% of the federal poverty line.

Spearheaded by Seacoast Church, the West Ashley DCC is the second dream center in the Lowcountry.



“Here at the West Ashley campus we will be an offshoot to the North Charleston dream clinic,” Campus Pastor, Chris Russo said.

Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg attended the grand opening Wednesday. On behalf of the city, he presented the clinic with a $5000 community assistance grant.

“This is intended to really hope those in need,” Tecklenburg said.

According to Tecklenburg, an estimated 24,000 people in West Ashley fit the criteria to receive the services offered at the dream clinic.



“It’s just an amazing community asset,” he said. “I find it to be uplifting.”

The dream center is 100% volunteer based. From the set up crew all the way to the doctors. Many healthcare providers will spare extra time to come and help the clinic, like retired physician, Dr. Owen Bossman.



“I retired, now I’m kind of looking forward and perhaps giving back a little bit more,” Bossman said.

Doctor Olumide Mughelli is a practicing OBGYN and the Medical Director of the West Ashley Dream Clinic. He said it’s a blessing to give back to his community.



“Its a blessing, a calling, I prayed I would find something like this to be involved in,” Mughelli said. “I’m just hungry to give back. Anything you do for Jesus is the best thing you’ll do in your life.”

The medical clinic will be open every Wednesday from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. The clinic is always looking for volunteers, head to their website for more information.
