About the Moore Free Care Clinic:

Health Care Services for People at Risk in Our Community

Moore Free Care Clinic is a private, volunteer-based, nonprofit organization that provides primary health care services at no cost to limited-income people who lack health care insurance.

Many people do not, or cannot, access the health care necessary to improve their health and enhance their quality of life. Many of Moore County's residents live at or below the federal poverty level and struggle with poor health. Health insurance is often cost-prohibitive or unavailable. Public assistance programs, which are valuable to the community, cover only specific segments of the population.

Patients without health care coverage and unable to afford private insurance tend to be less compliant with care plans, prescription medication regimens and follow-up care. The result is an exacerbation of conditions that may otherwise be easily controlled.

Those who fall through the cracks of the public health system often seek care only in emergency situations. While Moore Free Care Clinic is not the complete solution to a health care crisis for many, it is a community-led initiative that provides free care to those in need. The clinic plays an important role in the safety net system by filling health care gaps. While dozens of organizations work to advocate for care for the uninsured, Moore Free Care Clinic is an important community response to providing health care services for those at risk.

Who Can Receive Care?

The clinic serves residents of Moore County who lack health insurance and do not receive Medicaid or Medicare. Eligibility guidelines require that a patient's income be at or below 150% of the federal poverty guidelines. For example, the annual income for an individual would have to be $16,245 or less and for a family of 4 would have to be $33,075 or less. Many people in this group are employed but unable to afford health care or health insurance. The clinic interviews each individual to determine their eligibility.
