Dr. Allan Joseph, MD
Women’s Health of Augusta
Over the last twenty-four years, Allan has provided Obstetrics and Gynecological care for women in the Augusta area and delivered well over five thousand babies. “I love going to work as I have wonderful partners and great staff, but the best part of our practice are our patients,” he shares. “Our close knit CSRA community lends itself to developing long term relationships with our patients. It is always an honor to see people about town that I’ve had the privilege of being involved in their care, sometimes during pivotal moments in their lives like the birth of their child.”

Project Refresh
Project Refresh is a non-profit mobile shower that serves those experiencing homelessness or home insecurity. “We are an eighteen foot mobile shower unit that houses two shower stalls, one of which is handicap accessible. Both stalls have air conditioning, heat, hot water, cold water, a toilet, and a sink,” says Brittany Hutto, one of the four ladies that started Project Refresh in 2020. “We all work within healthcare, and know the impact that hygiene plays in overall wellness. So we wanted to provide a safe space for people to shower off and get clean. We provide them with all the stuff they need to walk away feeling better, from toiletries to clean clothes. Sometimes people forget how taking a shower can make you feel, and we wanted to find a way to give back to our community that promotes health and wellness in a new way for Augusta and surrounding areas,” she shares.
Project Refresh is on a mission to change the perception of homelessness and restore the dignity and hope that a shower can bring. For more information about Project Refresh or to donate supplies and volunteer, please visit projectrefreshinc.com.
