Minnesota free health care community clinics.

Community health care clinics are a great place to turn to for medical services. Minnesota has many locations that are committed to helping the working poor, low income, and people with no or limited health insurance. In addition, many of the medical centers will even provide low cost or free health care to all individuals, regardless of their income levels. However some people may be charged for the services given to them based on their total household income level and total assets. Many of the community health centers have volunteer doctors, nurses, hygienists, and other medical professionals who are providing help to the low income and disadvantaged. Each location near you is committed to providing the highest quality health care to patients and families who need assistance. Services offered for adult or children, some of which can be available to the patient at no cost to them, can range from free prescription medications, to dental care, to general checkups and other forms of medical assistance and support. Most town, cities, and counties in Minnesota have other medical programs and places to turn to for information and support, such as the Salvation Army, United Way, and others. Ask a clinic near you or a social worker who may be on site for a listing of other centers and non-profits organizations in your area of Minnesota. There is also a phone number at the bottom of the page for more referrals to clinics in Minnesota near you.
