We offer our patients free health services once a week and laboratory testing twice monthly, as needed. In addition, we are able to provide many of their medicines through prescription assistance programs offered through all major pharmaceutical companies.

The clinic relies solely on private and public donations. We do not receive any federal or state funds, however we are a 501(c)3 non-profit.
