Unfortunately, due to the limited number of volunteers and available resources, we cannot guarantee that all persons requesting service during a clinic session will be seen.
Mission Statement
The West Plains Christian Clinic seeks to improve the quality of life of the medically uninsured people in the West Plains Community by providing no cost general medical care, preventative medicine and health education, and by making available spiritual counseling to those who seek it. The West Plains Christian Clinic seeks to meet the needs of the medically uninsured without regard to race, religion, or creed of those who seek its services.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the West Plains Christian Clinic 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%.
