Our mission is to improve the overall health of Baldwin County by providing
no-charge medical care and health education for adults without medical insurance.
It’s a vital lifeline for people who have difficulty obtaining medical care due to lack of
health insurance or low income. These residents are diagnosed with chronic medical
conditions. We also provide medications that otherwise would not be able to obtain
for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, high blood
pressure, elevated cholesterol, gastroesophogeal reflux disease (GERD),asthma, and
thyroid disorders. Even though the implementation of the Affordable
Care Act (ACA) has begun, it is unstable and we must consider the remaining
uninsured and working poor left behind.
Many are asking these days about the future of our clinic in light of the ACA. Since
the passage of this legislation, we have sought to understand what it means for our
organization, our community, and those we serve. We believe, and our view has been
confirmed by outside experts, that thousands of people in our community will remain
uninsured for one reason or another and there will still be significant gaps in access to
affordable health care. The need for our clinic is not going away! Continued support is
much appreciated.
We nearing influenza season. We expect to see patients come in with flare ups of COPD, asthma and other related conditions.
Screening, prevention, and management education is extremely important in all health concerns.
We do not prescribe narcotics (also called opioid pain relievers) or benzodiazepines
(also known as tranquilizers) - instead we refer these patients to other medical
professionals. This allows us to focus on the sickest of the sick struggling with chronic
diseases with no resources to obtain medical care.
We are not a walk-in clinic. There is a screening and application process prior to
appointment scheduling.
