Physicians CareConnection Our Mission:
Dedicated to Optimizing the Health of Those Most Vulnerable in Central Ohio Some of the programs include:

1.

The Physicians CareConnection (PCC), formerly Physicians Free Clinic/Voluntary Care Network (PFC/VCN), is the largest coordinator of voluntary health care services in Central Ohio with over 1000 primary/specialty care doctors and 13 hospitals participating. PCC connects low-income, uninsured residents with medical homes and improves access (reduce delays) to specialty care.

Primary Care: Patients are able to receive primary care through our Monday nights walk-in free clinic, operated at the Columbus Public Health department on; 240 Parsons Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215, from 5:00pm. The clinic serves as a “bridge” or a gateway into the health care system for people who do not have a primary care doctor.

2. Voluntary Care Network: PCC clients are able to access specialty care through a decentralized or “virtual” network of providers.

3. Preventative Colorectal Cancer Screening Initiative: In partnership with the Ohio Gastroenterology Group, patients who are uninsured, 50 years and older, asymptomatic and never had prior screening, receive a screening colonoscopy at no charge.

4. OSU Eye Free Clinic: PCC coordinates the ophthalmology clinic at the OSU Havener Eye Institute for patients with serious eye illness or injury.

5. Dental CareConnection: The dental clinic also operated at the Columbus Public Health department on 240 Parsons Avenue, provides tooth extractions restorative and denture services to those without dental insurance coverage.
