Clinics are primarily staffed by volunteers. Medical clinics are every Tuesday, Thursday and the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. Dental clinics are every Tuesday and 2nd & 4th Wednesday. All appointments are made on a space available basis. The CARE Clinic gets no funding from the government and relies entirely on the generosity of donors, grants from foundations and annual fund raising events to provide health services at no charge. Patients are given the opportunity to make a donation at the time of their visit.

CARE Clinic patients have assisted in their own care by donating more than $350,000 since our doors opened in 1993!
