We provide women with a safe place to make decisions about family planning and providing pregnancy prevention services.
We help residents understand how to protect children from lead poisoning.
We provide people in physically abusive relationships with information, referrals and assistance with getting help.
We have a nurse for residents to call when they have health related questions.
We help residents understand how to reduce the risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease.
We educate children and teenagers about how wearing a bicycle helmet can protect them from injury.
We give pregnant women and their babies nutrition information and access to healthy foods.
These are just a few of the ways we work to protect the health of Berkeley residents and those who visit our City.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the City Of Berkeley Department of Health website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
