Free Clinics Provide Care for an Estimated 2 Million Americans Annually

Free Clinics Provide Care for an Estimated 2 Million Americans Annually: Findings from a survey of free clinics suggest that an estimated 1.8 million individuals make approximately 3.5 million medical and dental visits to free clinics annually. "Our nation's 46 million uninsured often delay or forgo needed health care because the cost is prohibitive.... Free clinics provide a range of preventive and general medical care for an estimated 10 percent of the working-age adult uninsured population who seek care," writes Julie S. Darnell, Ph.D., M.H.S.A., then of the University of Chicago and now of the School of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago. Archives of Internal Medicine, June 14, 2010
