Free and low-cost health care clinics in Sonoma County
Free and low-cost medical as well as dental care in Sonoma County is delivered primarily through a small number of large community clinic networks, supplemented by volunteer-run free clinics, county public health services, and regional partners. Most of the income based care for uninsured and low-income residents is provided through health centers (listed below) based in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, Guerneville, Sonoma, and surrounding communities, rather than through independent standalone clinics.
Access to free or affordable care in Sonoma County is largely income-based. Many of the local sclinics operate on sliding fee scales tied to household income and family size. In addition, a smaller number of programs provide care at no cost through charity care, public health initiatives, or volunteer staffing. Depending on the location, patients may be seen for services ranging from primary medical care, preventive visits, immunizations, prescription support, or chronic disease management.
Some also offer dental services. There are some centers that offer low-cost or free dental exams and cleanings, extractions, pediatric services, or referrals to specialty providers. The dental care is offered at select clinic sites and through countywide programs, student-run clinics, and specialty pediatric facilities.
Clinic availability and services vary by region within the county as noted below. Additional support is provided through Sonoma County Public Health programs and mobile clinics that travel to different communities. The listings below reflect how care is actually delivered across Sonoma County and note when services extend beyond county boundaries.
