Medical Services

At The Free Clinic, medical care is more than a service — it is our mission and our promise to the community. The Medical Department forms the heart of our organization, delivering comprehensive, compassionate, and completely free healthcare to individuals and families who might otherwise go without care.

We believe that everyone deserves access to quality medical treatment, preventive services, medications, and diagnostic testing regardless of income, insurance status, or life circumstances. Our team of licensed clinicians, nurses, and dedicated volunteer specialists works together to provide safe, respectful, patient-centered care in a welcoming environment.

From routine checkups to urgent concerns and specialty care, The Free Clinic is here to support your health at every stage of life.

Comprehensive Primary & Acute Care

Our primary and acute care services address both everyday health needs and unexpected medical concerns. Patients can receive evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care for a wide range of conditions.

We treat common illnesses such as colds, flu, infections, and minor injuries, while also providing ongoing preventive care that helps patients stay healthy long term. Services include physical exams, health screenings, immunizations guidance, medication management, and referrals when needed.

By combining preventive medicine with immediate care for acute issues, we help patients avoid complications, emergency room visits, and untreated conditions that could become more serious over time.
