about us

Opening doors to care

Clara’s House is a no-cost clinic for people without health insurance. Appointments are available to all, without respect to race, culture, ability to speak English, or spiritual beliefs. In addition to primary care medical services, we offer health seminars in diabetic education, nutrition, chronic disease self-management, and health promotion. New patient appointments are by referral from partner agencies to provide the social services needed by our shared clients. Volunteers staff the clinic weekdays, Monday through Thursday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Disrupting Disease

Health doesn’t magically happen during a 15 minute office visit. We take the time to listen. We take the time to teach. We take the time to make sure the patient understands. At Clara’s House we provide comprehensive, compassionate medical services that address the needs of the whole person.

​

Enabling Health

The program provides free medical services in a culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate manner to people who:

• Need medical services

• Have no insurance

• Lack money to pay for services

• Do not know about existing services

• Are unable to use existing services
   

The clinic, led by a family nurse practitioner and supported by volunteer healthcare professionals, provides education, assessment, and preventive care in coordination with community services. Clara’s House staff collaborate with professionals, agencies, schools, families, and the broader community to serve the health needs of the voiceless and vulnerable.
