A free medical clinic is a healthcare facility that provides medical services to individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or unable to afford traditional healthcare services. These clinics offer medical care at no cost, or low cost, to the patient.

Vineyard Medical Clinic serves individuals with limited financial resources and no health insurance. Eligibility criteria will prioritize those who meet income guidelines or are experiencing financial hardship. If you are having trouble accessing healthcare services we are here to help.

VMC offers a range of basic healthcare services, including primary care, preventive care, chronic disease management, and some diagnostic testing.

In most cases, the core medical services provided are free of charge. However, there may be nominal fees for certain specialized services, medications, or lab tests. These fees are typically much lower than what you might pay at a private clinic or hospital, and you will always be notified if a service has an associated cost.

Clinic hours are limited and therefore appointments are recommended. You can schedule an appointment online or by phone.

You may be asked to provide proof of income, identification, and any relevant medical records when visiting the clinic for the first time. You can call the clinic to verify what to bring ahead of time.

VMC, like many other free clinics, relies on volunteer healthcare professionals. However, VMC volunteers are dedicated and experienced healthcare providers who provide high-quality care.
