Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why
Free Clinic is important?
A: Nationwide, the "Free Clinic Movement" attempts to
bridge gaps between the need and the provision of healthcare services
to uninsured and underinsured residents of our communities. Estimates
place the number of free clinics across the country at about 250,
though by virtue of geography and composition, free clinics often are
isolated from each other and from other under-funded, grassroots
movements.
To help facilitate better
communication between free clinics, in several states and regions
across the country representatives from free clinics gather on a
semi-regular basis to discuss common issues and network amongst each
other. The formality and approach of these gatherings are as individual
as the clinics represented; however, one common denominator seems to
emerge each time - the desire for wider involvement.
Q: Am I
qualified?
A: The Free Clinic brings critical health care to
people without health insurance and to those who are least able to
afford health care. In order to ensure that our resources are directed
most effectively in meeting these needs, the following criteria are
used to admit people to the Free Clinic programs.
