Where
can I go to get health care regardless of my ability to pay?
Community health
centers provide health care regardless of your ability to
pay and even if you have no health insurance. Find the
community health center closest to you. Phone the community health
center for more information or to make an appointment.
Hill-Burton obligated facilities provide free or reduced-cost services
to those who are unable to pay. Each facility chooses which services
it will provide at no or lowered cost and who will receive them.
Eligibility for
Hill-Burton is based on family size and income. You may apply at a
Hill-Burton obligated facility for free or reduced-cost care either
before or after you receive care. Find Hill-Burton obligated
facilities. Apply for free or reduced-cost care at the Hill-Burton
obligated facility. |

assistance programs. Contact your local department of social services
or a local hospital's social worker to see if your State has a program
and if you might be eligible to apply.
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program for
low-income women provides free or low-cost mammograms and Pap tests.
