Many of the patients who need our services suffer from longstanding chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, lung disorders, etc. - problems that can become acute if not managed and supervised. Historically, without regular care, when the problems become acute the patients end up in the hospital's emergency department.
Our patients are working families without medical insurance, Butler County residents with incomes no greater than 200% of poverty level. We will not duplicate services; if a patient qualifies for other programs, we will manage the referral.
The clinic provides free outpatient primary medical care, preventive medical services, in-house specialized services, referrals to other agencies when appropriate, and free medications. We plan to add dental services as soon as possible.
Clinic hours are Tuesday and Wednesday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm and Thursday 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.
Our goal is to provide the primary healthcare needed to keep our patients healthy, so they can continue to work, care for their families and be productive members of the community.
