The Importance of Preventive Care

Preventive care plays a vital role in long-term health. Routine checkups, screenings, and dental visits can help identify concerns early—often before they become more serious.

This Wellness Wednesday, we encourage you to view preventive care as an act of stewardship. Taking time now can protect your health for years to come. 🩺

Prayer and Peace

Spiritual wellness is an important part of whole-person care. In busy or uncertain seasons, taking time to pause, pray, and reflect can bring peace and clarity.

Philippians 4:6-7 says "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus". (NKJV)

This Wellness Wednesday, we encourage you to slow down and rest in the presence of God. Peace is a gift worth protecting. 🕊️

Our Story

His Hands Free Clinic is dedicated to providing high quality healthcare at no cost to uninsured and underinsured people of Eastern Iowa. His Hands offers medical, dental, chiropractic, mental health, woman’s health, physical therapy, social work services, prescription assistance, durable medical equipment and prayer support.

The initial motivation to create a free clinic came from a challenge issued by the Christian Medical and Dental Society in 1991. Dr. Jim Bell attended that conference and upon returned to Cedar Rapids gathered his colleagues to create The Cedar Rapids Free Medical Clinic. The clinic opened in May 1992, in a space donated by The Jane Boyd Community Center.

In the early days, the clinic was only open for three hours every other Monday night. As the need for free care became more evident, Dr. Ken Cearlock joined the clinic, allowing it to be open every Monday night. Soon numerous nurses, social workers and pharmacists joined the effort. Year after year, the demands on the clinic have increased. In 1996, The Cedar Rapids Free Medical Clinic was incorporated as His Hands Ministries; they obtained non-profit status and formed a Board of Directors and an Executive Director was hired to oversee the day-to-day operations. Extra clinics were added for primary care on Thursdays and then Tuesdays, as well as specialty clinics in gynecology, podiatry and general internal medicine. A prescription assistance program was started to address the need for medications.

Patient rosters continued to swell and in 2001, the clinic saw over 5000 patients. In 2002, a search began for an alternate clinic site. In the preliminary stages of the search process, philosophical differences were pulling the Board of Directors in different directions. Several Board members and the Executive Director resigned and the clinic split into two organizations: the Community Health Free Clinic and Cedar Rapids Free Medical Clinic.
