    Inside Our Clinic

    At The Free Clinic, we’ve created a calm, clean, and comfortable space where everyone feels respected and at ease from the moment they walk in. Take a look inside our facility.

    What Patients Say

    I came in with high blood pressure and no insurance. Dr. Vossend listened to me for a long time, explained everything clearly, gave me free meds and a plan. Now my numbers are normal. This place saved me from so much worry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    After years of struggling alone with addiction, I finally got help here. The SAT team was kind, no judgment at all. They started me on MAT right away and connected me with counseling. I’m 4 months clean now. The Free Clinic gave me my life back.

    I was so scared to get an HIV test, but the staff made it easy and private. Negative result, but they gave me PrEP info and support anyway. Then I got my dental cleaning too — first one in years! Everyone is so caring. This clinic is a blessing for people like me.

    Addressing Your Worries

    Will anyone judge me for not being able to pay or not having insurance?

    No — never. Our entire team works specifically with people in difficult financial situations every day. We see it as normal and treat everyone with complete respect and understanding. There will be no comments, no judgment, no embarrassing questions about money. You come as a patient, not as “someone asking for help.” All conversations are strictly confidential.

    Can I bring my children or family members, and do you have anything special for them?

    Yes, we serve all ages, including children and teens. We offer family visits, pediatric dental care (through Dental Services), preventive check-ups for kids, and support for parents on vaccinations and child health. If needed, we can schedule multiple family members on the same day or coordinate visits together.

    Will my information stay private if I come for HIV, addiction, or mental health help?

    Yes — 100% confidential. All services (especially HIV Services, Mental Health Services, and Substance Abuse Treatment) follow strict federal HIPAA standards. Your information is never shared with employers, family, police, or anyone else without your written permission. Even for MAT (addiction treatment) or PrEP — everything can be completely anonymous if you prefer.

    Can I get help if I’m undocumented, homeless, or don’t have a permanent address?

    Yes — we are specially designed for exactly these situations. You do not need to provide a Social Security number, passport, proof of address, or immigration status. We welcome undocumented people, those experiencing homelessness, and migrants. Our Case Management and Advocacy Services can also help connect you to temporary housing, food, transportation, and available programs — no questions asked about your status.

    What if English is not my first language — will there be help with communication?

    Yes, we provide language support to make sure you feel heard and understood. We offer interpreters (in-person or over the phone) for many languages, including Spanish and others common in our community. Our staff is trained to work with non-English speakers, and we take extra time to explain everything clearly — no rush, no confusion.
