Health Care Resources


If you're currently without health insurance check out federally-funded health centers near you. You pay what you can afford, based on your income. Health centers provide:
  1. checkups when you're well
  2. treatment when you're sick
  3. complete care when you're pregnant
  4. immunizations and checkups for your children
  5. dental care and prescription drugs for your family
  6. mental health and substance abuse care if you need it
Health centers are in most cities and many rural areas. Find one near you at http://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/.

Also, check out RXassist.org to see if you qualify for free or low-cost medications through patient assistance programs run by pharmaceutical companies.
