How to access health help

Community health centers offer primary care, dental, and sometimes vision on a sliding-scale fee based on income. Free clinics provide care at no cost. Most require an appointment but some have walk-in hours.

What to bring

Any insurance cards you have, a list of current medications, and a photo ID. If you don't have insurance, that's okay — sliding-scale clinics will still see you.

Typical timeline

Walk-in clinics may see you the same day. Community health centers typically schedule appointments within 1-2 weeks. Urgent needs can often be seen sooner.
