The JayDoc Free Clinic exists to provide quality healthcare to the underserved populations of Greater Kansas City, while creating invaluable opportunities for students at the University of Kansas to enhance their education in the health professions.
The purpose of the JayDoc Free Clinic is to promote health and wellness by providing quality services, at no charge, to people without access to basic care.
The general clinic is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 5-9 p.m., patients must arrive by 5 p.m. in order to be seen. That said, patient intake at JayDoc is not first-come, first-serve; we receive the patients whose needs our team is best suited to serve, and we counsel remaining patients as to their best options for medical care.
Services:
Non-emergency urgent care
Diabetes care: We provide a medical home to diabetic patients where they can be managed and followed over time. Services include laboratory work-ups, treatment as it becomes available, and education on appropriate diet and nutrition. Patients are referred to Diabetes Night after first being seen by the general clinic.
Eye exams and referrals: Jaydoc Ophthalmology Night provides eye health evaluations to all of our patients. Our team will give recommendations necessary to help our patients maintain excellent vision. Exams offered include testing for glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, cataracts, and more. Referrals are made for patients who require surgeries or more serious follow-ups. In addition, the clinic is also able to provide glasses for patients at low to no cost.

*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%.
