Free and low-cost community clinics and healthcare centers in Wisconsin
Most community health centers in Wisconsin are Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). These clinics provide primary medical care regardless of a patient's ability to pay. These facilities are specifically designed to serve individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or low-income, utilizing a sliding fee scale based on federal poverty guidelines to ensure that care is available to anyone who needs it - no matter what their income or insurance status.
The clinics below are broken up by region in Wisconsin to help you locate care quickly within your local county or community. The exact services vary by location, many offer sliding-fee discounts, accept Medicaid and Medicare, and provide additional services for free or a sliding-fee. Examples of what may be provided include behavioral health counseling, prescription from a pharmacy, women's health services, eye exams, pediatric care and much more. For a list of centers that specialize in dental care, see the NHPB guide to dental clinics in Wisconsin.
