We offer general medical care, HIV testing, women's health services and nutrition/diabetes education classes. We also have optometry referrals for eye exams and glasses for those who qualify. Not all services are available at every clinic, so please check with us if you need non-routine care. Although we do not have dentistry services, we can refer you to low-cost providers in the area.
In most cases, we provide medication for you after your visit. There are some medications that we are unable to stock because of the cost. However, the vast majority of drugs that our patients need are available free of charge. We can only fill prescriptions written by our staff. You're welcome to see one of our physicians who will write you a new prescription, if you need it. We do not stock narcotics. Chronic pain is best managed by a physician who specializes in pain management. We might be able to refer you to a pain management specialist.

*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%.
