FYI: If you have no health insurance

Federally-funded health centers are mandated to provide care for you, even if you have no health insurance. You pay what you can afford, based on your income.

Health centers are in most cities and many rural areas. Go to http://www.findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/Search_HCC_byCounty.aspx Type in your address and click the 'Find Health Centers' button to find health centers near you.

Health centers provide:
1. Check-ups when you are well
2. Treatment when you are sick
3. Complete care when you are pregnant
4. Immunization and check-ups for your children
5. Dental care and prescription drugs for your family
6. Mental health and substance abuse care if you need it
