We are currently serving those who are uninsured, 18 & older, and fall below the 300% poverty level. The PFC provides healthcare for a demographic that has few options when this occurs. For this population, paying for a medical exam may displace resources for food and shelter. Individuals often wait to seek care until a condition becomes urgent, affecting long-term health and accumulating bills which they may never pay off. The inability to access quality healthcare greatly affects a person’s health and quality of life. Medical and dental examinations are provided by volunteer health care professionals and a part-time staff physician assistant. Services available to qualifying individuals also include prescription assistance, laboratory work, durable medical goods, resource referrals, health education, wellness classes and patient initiatives, dental exams, dental cleanings, fillings, extractions, and x-rays. Healthy People 2020 envisions a society in which ALL people live long, healthy lives. We pledge to do our part to carry out that vision.
