Learn About Our Free and Charitable Clinic

OUR VISION: As a non-profit clinic, Moore Free & Charitable Clinic seeks to create a healthy community by providing health care to the uninsured.

Providing Health Services to the Uninsured in Our Community

Moore Free & Charitable Clinic is a private, non-profit clinic that provides primary care services at low or no cost to eligible adult residents of Moore County. Even in Moore County, there are many who are unable to obtain affordable medical care because they lack health insurance coverage. 


Who are the uninsured? They may be your hairdresser, the day care teacher or the single mother down the street. The uninsured are all around us, but it is a silent epidemic. Moore Free & Charitable Clinic was established to help those in the community who have no other place to turn for a medical home. 

By providing quality primary care to the uninsured, we reduce the burden of preventable health problems in this community. Untreated chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure lead to complications that can disable or kill people. Helping people recognize and treat diseases in their early stages, instead of in the emergency room, improves outcomes and is cost-effective. We are a local, community-initiated response that has improved the quality of life of many people in Moore County.

FAQs

 

What is a free and charitable health clinic?

Free and charitable health clinics are non-profit, community-based organizations that provide medical care at no charge to low-income, uninsured persons through the use of volunteer health care professionals, partnerships with specialty health care providers, and, in some cases, through employed medical staff.


Who is the typical clinic patient?

A free and charitable clinic patient is the person in line with you at the grocery store, or in the pews with you at church. A patient is often working, but either can’t afford, is not offered, or is not eligible for health insurance (“the working poor”). Sometimes, a person may lack health insurance because they work more than one part-time job when full-time employment with benefits is not available. In terms of ethnicity, patients typically match the makeup of the community.  


What types of services do non profit clinics provide?

It depends on the clinic, but non profit clinics can provide medical, behavioral and dental care, as well as prescription medications, for low-income, uninsured and other vulnerable populations throughout North Carolina.  


What is the difference between free and charitable clinics and local health departments? 

Free clinics are not public agencies and are not run by the state or county government, as local health departments are. Free and charitable clinics, therefore, are dependent upon the generosity of the community, as well as grants, to sustain operations. The Moore County Health Department does not provide primary care services.


How many free and charitable clinics are there? 

In North Carolina there are 73 free clinics who reach and serve 83 clinic sites. The first free clinic was opened in Winston-Salem in 1972. Free clinics are connected with one another for the exchange of information and ideas, etc. by the North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, with an office in Winston-Salem. North Carolina has the largest free clinic association in the country, serving both rural and urban locations throughout the state.     


What impact do non profit clinics make? 

During 2021, non profit clinics in North Carolina delivered $315,021,739 in free health services to over 82,400 uninsured patients. Even in a pandemic year, the volunteer workforce equaled 5,260 volunteer healthcare professionals and dedicated community volunteers. Free clinics are delivering quality care and improving the health of the uninsured with efficiency and compassion.


Where do free and charitable clinics obtain their funding? 

Funding comes primarily from individual donations from businesses, civic organizations, churches, and community members. Foundations and state agencies also make some grant money available. Clinics provide an outstanding value for the contributions they receive. At Moore Free & Charitable Clinic in 2021, for every $1.00 donated, $35.41 in health services is provided.

Does Moore Free & Charitable Clinic provide pregnancy services?  

No. Patients needing pregnancy services are referred to other community resources, such as the Moore County Department of Health, local obstetrics practices or counseling services.
