Find a Health Care Clinic

Quality health care clinics, hospitals and systems assist in the prevention, treatment and management of illness, and they safeguard mental, physical and emotional well-being. You should always aim to get the best health care and seek the best places for that treatment. With the guidance of medical, nursing and other health professionals that work with the support of government, state and nonprofit agencies, health care can also be affordable.

The hardest part: locating those services. So, you've come to the right spot if you're looking to find a health care clinic and other resources to help you get better, quality care! Everyone deserves good, reliable, accessible and low-cost health care. Unfortunately, it's rarely “free” in the United States. In fact, it can be very costly, especially if you don’t have health insurance coverage.

Currently, there are 45 million Americans who don’t have health insurance coverage, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. You don't have to be a part of that statistic. Now is the time to find out about what's available to you at low-cost, sometimes no-cost.

While you may be charged minimal fees even at health care clinics, these fees are based on your income level and the services you need and/or request. Here’s how you can start taking advantage of the federal and state options available to you right now:

• Search the Bureau of Primary Care’s national listing of federally-funded, low-cost health care clinics. This database of health care clinics will help you locate facilities that provide: checkups when you're well; treatment when you're sick; complete care when you're pregnant; immunizations and checkups for your children; dental care and prescription drugs for your family; and mental health and substance abuse care if you need it.

• Get the facts about state and federally-funded health insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

• Take action for universal health care coverage, equal access and coverage for all by learning more about it and how you can get involved.
