How do I find Community Health Centers in other parts of the U.S.?

Visit this website http://ask.hrsa.gov/pc/ and search by zip code, state, or city/state. 

Are you a free clinic?
We are not a free clinic, however, we do provide health care on a sliding fee scale based on family size and household income. Clients are asked to pay what they can, when they can. We will not send your bill to a collections agency. There are also some programs that pay for certain services. We want you to get the health care you need, so if you have concerns about payment, please contact us.

Are all of the doctors volunteers?
No, we employ highly qualified professional physicians and family nurse practitioners who are able to provide continuity of care to our clients. We also have some volunteer physicians who offer specific services and make it possible for us to serve more people. Click here for more information on our staff.

What if I need information from my medical records?
The staff at the Health Center is able to complete physical forms and immunization records in about 10 days. Please bring the form to your primary care provider. If you had a physical within one year, the form will be completed and ready for pick-up within 10 days at the reception desk, unless we contact you to obtain more information. If you have not had a physical within one year, you can schedule an appointment and bring the form with you for completion.

What about test results?
If your test results are normal, you will receive a letter in the mail with the results. A provider or nurse will contact you if your test results need follow up treatment. If you are uncertain about your test results you can always call our office. At this time you must provide your client id number or your name, birthday, and social security number. Let the receptionist know what test results you are looking for and on what date you had taken the test. If a nurse is available, she/he can give you your results. Otherwise, we will have the nurse give you a call back with your results as soon as possible.

What if I need a referral?
You must see one of our providers and if they determine that you need a referral, you will be given one. There are some programs that pay for specialty care. Our social workers can help you apply for financial assistance to cover the costs of specialty care that you may need.
