What it reported doing in 2025

Each year, thousands of at-risk children and adults have access to quality, affordable health care and support services at Doctors Care. Our core programs, medical and integrated client services, provide patients, clients, and community members a unique opportunity to receive whole-person care in one convenient location. Doctors Cares programs include essential services that address an individuals immediate health needs and build a foundation for long-term well-being. Services include: Medical: Our integrated primary care clinic for children and adults up to age 50 includes services such as reproductive health care or behavioral health access. An appointment may also include services that further alleviate access barriers to specialty providers and socioeconomic circumstances that prevent individuals from addressing their health care needs. Services may include both Doctors Care patients and community members and are offered based on a sliding-fee-scale, their insurance status, or at no cost.Integrated Client Services: Doctors Cares integrated client services provide health care needs beyond a typical clinic setting.

This service is at no cost to Doctors Care patients, individuals referred by community partners, or any community member in need.
