Federally Qualified Health Centers
If you cannot get help from the Indigent Health Care Program, you may be able to see a doctor at a Federally QualifiedHealth Center (FQHC) clinic that will let you pay on a "sliding scale." This means that the amount of money you pay isbased on how many family members live in your house and how much money you make. For example, if you have a bigfamily and make just a little money, you would pay less for medical care. If you have a smaller family or make a little moremoney, you would pay a little more.
For more information and to find the nearest clinic, call the numbers below. Clinics that see adult patients are listed
