Healthcare Costs a Problem? Visit a Community Health Center or Free Clinic

Save Money on Your Medications
Each week, Dr. Mike offers a tip on how to save money on your medications.

Community Health Centers

Community health centers that are regulated by the federal government can be found in many parts of the country. These clinics provide care to people without health insurance and have sliding fee scales based on income. Many of these clinics have pharmacies on site or have contracts with community pharmacies.

Find a health center in your community.

Free Clinics

Free clinics are community clinics that provide health care for free or very little cost to uninsured people. These clinics help their patients get low cost or free medications. Some free clinics have pharmacies on site or have arrangements with local pharmacies, and some rely on samples and pharmaceutical company patient assistance programs.

Find a free clinic in your community.
