Directory of Iowa free and income-based Community Health Centers and FQHCs
If you do not have health insurance, cannot afford a doctor's office visit, or need a lower-cost healthcare option, Iowa community clinics may be able to help. Many of the organizations listed below are Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), nonprofit clinics, or charitable healthcare providers that offer services regardless of a patient's ability to pay. Fees are often adjusted based on household income, and many locations accept Medicaid and other public health coverage programs.
The directory of healthcare centers on this page is organized by region to make it easier to locate a provider. The clinics below serve communities throughout Iowa, from larger cities such as Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City, and Waterloo to smaller rural counties where healthcare options may be limited.
Some locations focus on uninsured patients, while others specialize in areas such as women's health, dental care, homelessness services, or care for migrant and agricultural workers. Contact the clinic directly before visiting to confirm hours, appointment availability, and any eligibility requirements.
- NOTE: Clinic hours, program availability, and types of services as well as hours or contact information can change. This directory of Iowa clinics is medical advice - see a medical professional for that.
