New York free community clinics.
Get information on community clinics that are located across New York that can provide patients with free or low cost health care While most of the health centers and clinics will focus on the low income and people with limited or no health insurance, the bottom line is that these locations can be a great place to call to learn about the services offered. Find free medications, physicals, diabetes management, cancer screening, immunizations and so much more. A list of free clinics in New York that may be near you is below, and there is also a phone number at the bottom of the page for more healthcare resources.
Some of the community clinics may offer dental care, prescription medications, and a wide variety of other medical and health care services and programs. Volunteers, nurses, and other medical professionals staff these centers, and every person and staff member is dedicated to helping children, seniors, and the low income get the care they need. Each and every year tens of thousands of individuals and families use the services that are offered by these New York community clinics.
In addition to these locations, if a center is not near then you can always call a nearby location in order to get referrals to other programs and to find additional community clinics. Or if a health center can’t meet your specific need then they may offer you advice, referrals or other ways to get free health care in your local county.
Specialists and case workers can often advise people on public health care and insurance options, such as Medicare, patient assistance programs, CHIP and Medicaid. Or a counselor can help you sign up for a free discount card, which can save consumers up to 50% on their medications. For example, read more on New York State prescription drug card.
Free charity from hospitals and health care centers
In addition to the clinics noted below by town and county, there are several other free health care centers in the region. Each location will have an application process in place and they may also have a sliding fee or variable rate billing structure in place. Also note that each hospital in New York is required to provide free, or charity, medical care as part of the Hospital Financial Assistance Law. This is a requirement that the state will in fact enforce. Learn more on NY State charity care program.
