Clackamas Free Clinic

Mission

It is our mission at Clackamas Free Clinic – Volunteers in Medicine to serve the health needs of uninsured and underinsured people by providing free and inclusive medical care through dedicated volunteers.

Bottom Line for Portland

Increased Access to Care: We support those who are uninsured, low-income, or facing barriers to traditional healthcare. Clackamas Free Clinic provides free, volunteer-driven healthcare to individuals who might otherwise go without - addressing critical needs like primary care, vision care, dental, chronic disease management and health education. 

Powered by Volunteers & Students: Our dedicated  and diverse team of staff and volunteers work alongside students to provide compassionate care while building the future of the healthcare workforce. 
   

Community Health Improvement:  By addressing health issues before they become crises, the clinic improves overall community health, reduces strain on the healthcare system, and helps prevent unnecessary medical debt.

Quote

"I feel like if I had not found the clinic I would have just given up on everything. Never once have I felt anything but supported ….I have been to a lot of medical practices and the clinic is by far the best on so many levels.”
- Buffy, patient
 
"The presence of this clinic has given me the opportunity and motivation to want to continue to practice medicine. I get to collaborate with colleagues, learn from and care for patients, and teach the next generation of physicians and care givers, many of whom have gone on to medical and other professional schools." 

• - Dr. John Schwartz, volunteer since 2012
