Although most of the Gathering Place patrons are covered by Medicare insurance, not all are eligible yet. The Free Clinic provides medical care for individuals not covered by insurance. Often this is people in between jobs, or those who don’t qualify for their employer’s insurance. You may have friends or family members who qualify for the free clinic. Come find out how to help them and get more information.
