“It will be years before the U.S. feels the full weight of the recent sweeping Medicaid cuts. But the free and charitable clinics that act as the last line of defense for the health and well-being of uninsured Americans are already preparing to pick up the pieces.

These nonprofit clinics are the backbone of America’s health care safety net. They deliver high-quality, free, or low-cost care to uninsured and underserved Americans through a blended staff-volunteer model. According to the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC)’s 2025 report, these patients represent some of the most vulnerable populations in the country: Eighty-four percent were uninsured, and 59% were employed but still unable to afford or access health insurance. Seventy-six percent lived at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, underscoring the economic barriers facing too many Americans.”

Thank you all who donated during Midlands Gives Campaign! It’s not too late to give if you haven’t already. Last year the clinic provided over $1.9 million in direct and indirect services on a budget just over $187,000 and served 916 patients who had no health care. These services included eye care, dental care, labs, X-rays, health education, surgical procedures, life-saving medications, mental health and the list goes on, depending on patients’ needs. We are so very grateful for all of the clinics’ volunteer physicians and support staff. Please continue to support the clinic so we can continue our mission of serving the underserved in Newberry County. Thank you!

Please note that the clinic’s poverty level just went up to 300%! We are excited to provide healthcare services to those who didn’t quite meet the 250% FPL. This will allow more people to have access to our services. We are very grateful to all who support the clinic so we are able to fill in the gap in healthcare.
