All of our services are provided to
our clients free-of-charge. Your donation will allow
us to continue to realize our potential as your community supported
free clinic. We rigorously screen our patients who receive services
at the clinic to make sure they meet our eligibility criteria
and do not have access to health care through traditional methods.
Approximately 25 percent of our clients are Medicare patients
- eligible to receive medication at the clinic when they qualify
for our services.
The average cost of a patient visit
at the clinic, including medication, is only $25. You
can rest assured that we know how to stretch each and every
dollar to provide the care that matters most to those who need
it. The average yearly cost of health care and medication for
each client at the clinic is $75. A family of four can receive
their needed health care and medication for only $300 per year.
