Local Health Departments often operate free or sliding-fee scale clinics and screening centers to handle non-emergency health problems.
Many operate prenatal and well-baby clinics as well. The services and fees vary from place to place, so contact the health department to find out about eligibility, hours of service, and services provided.
According to the National Association of Community Health Centers, federally sponsored community health centers serve six million people, and four to six million people are served at other-sponsored health centers. However, some problems exist. Because of the increase in demand for low-cost health care, many centers are closing off registration and are carrying waiting lists of 15 to 20 percent of their current case load.
The demand and availability of local health centers do vary, so don't overlook this resource. To find out about local clinics, contact your State Department of Public Health.
