The Free Medical Clinic

Unconditionally Free 

 

Every day hundreds of Clevelanders go without health care. In fact, Cleveland has one of the highest rates of single, working, uninsured citizens in the U.S. From its inception, the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland has witnessed this growing problem as the number of patients has reached 11,000 a year. With 18 exam rooms, five dental operatives, three group therapy rooms, a modern laboratory, an expanded pharmacy filling 22,000 free prescriptions a year, and a dedicated, caring staff, the Free Clinic is a testament to treating people as human beings, not numbers.    

 

Access to quality health care is a cornerstone of every healthy community. The Free Clinic embraces this and tailors services to the ever-changing needs of the surrounding area with programs ranging from acute care, to HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention, substance abuse treatment, and dental services‹all of which educate patients on taking responsibility for their own health. This mission is carried out by over 350 volunteers whose contributions of compassionate, non-judgmental care keep the clinic absolutely free for those without insurance. Danny Williams, Executive Director, The Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland stresses the importance of the resources needed to treat this underserved population. "We rely on sources like Saint Luke's Foundation to provide the unrestricted dollars required to help us meet this escalating need and continue treating Clevelanders with dignity."
