Patient receiving medical care in North Carolina
There are 72 free clinics throughout the state / Courtesy Neighbors

North Carolina, Raleigh-  Receiving free medical care is, in many cases, the only alternative to accessing health care for tens of thousands of people in North Carolina.

Very especially for those who do not have health insurance ni Medicaid, like many agricultural workers and undocumented persons.

In a context where bills for medical care can amount to astronomical sums for any worker, there are alternatives especially oriented so that people with low income or without health insurance can consult a professional.

One of the largest is the North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NCAFCC). It is a network of 72 health centers distributed throughout the state.


>>> Starting in 2024, Macon County, in western North Carolina, will have a new health center of the Vecinos clinic, which will provide free medical care to people without health insurance.


The clinics offer primary care, specialized, and high-quality behavioral health services. In addition, pharmacy and other services are available to uninsured and low-income residents. In many cases, they are free, and in others, they are also very affordable.

In addition, almost all of them have bilingual staff to make inquiries in Spanish.

  2. My name is Juan, I am 67 years old. I would greatly appreciate it if you could inform me about a place where I can find a urologist for an evaluation and whose services are low cost. I would greatly appreciate that help. I live in Raleigh, NC. God bless you.

  3. I need help for a reproductive check-up. I haven't felt well. If anyone knows of a place where they can help me, I don't want it for free, but I don't want it to be so expensive. Please, I really need help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  4. Good evening, my mother was in a traffic accident. She is in Greenville and needs rehabilitation. How can we access it?
