Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center Inc
About this Organization
Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center provides quality medical and dental care to individuals who live at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Guideline, We serve the uninsured, underinsured, and underserved and many of our patients also face social, emotional, and/or cognitive issues. The impact in our community and to those we serve is four-fold. Our services 1. reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients; 2. address health issues prior to major deterioration; 3. emphasize preventive health maintenance; and 4. offer referrals for health care navigation for medical assistance and insurance/marketplace plans if determined ineligible for our Free Health Care Center services. We believe if we provide high-quality, free medical and dental care and if our patients take ownership of their own mental, physical, and emotional health, together we will enhance their individual lives and the quality of life among vulnerable populations. The Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center is a Volunteers in Medicine, or VIM facility, utilizing the talents of active and retired dental, medical, and nonclinical volunteers supported by a core paid staff.
