Current Programs & Services
The Free Clinics currently offers programs in five areas: Acute Care (Medical Clinics); Chronic and Specialty Care (Bridges to Health, Community Case Management/Project Access, Diabetes Program, Endocrine Clinic, Eye Clinic, and Phoenix Project); Behavioral Health Care (Counseling, Psychiatric Care Navigation, Psychiatric Clinic); Pharmaceutical Support (Community Pharmacy, Medi-Find Prescription Assistance Program, Medication Therapy Management, Naloxone); and Patient Education and Wellness (Care Coordination, Diabetes Education, Flu Shot Clinics, Patient Health Advocacy, and Wellness Screenings).
TFC cares for our neighbors in need by providing free care to low-income, uninsured residents of Henderson and Polk Counties. We work collaboratively with the local community health centers, health departments, social service agencies, and hospitals to augment the healthcare system and provide vital services that are not duplicated. We are a community of 220+ dedicated volunteers and 179 healthcare partners working together to make our community a healthier place to live, work, learn, and play, for our neighbors in need and for ourselves. Through TFC our community comes together, helping our most vulnerable neighbors address their health concerns–with everything from access to a doctor’s visit to medications to lack of healthy food or transportation challenges. Helping our neighbors in need helps us all.
Our goal is to bridge gaps in healthcare, not to be someone’s primary care home. We provide a user-friendly place for people who would otherwise fall through the cracks.
