Free Clinic of Southwest Washington

The Free Clinic of Southwest Washington was founded in 1990 by local Vancouver physician, Dr. Sam Beall, and local priest, Father Ed Rankin after both identified a need in the community to help those who were uninsured and could not afford even basic medical care. Today, the Free Clinic of Southwest Washington is one of the largest free clinics in the state of Washington and uses an all-volunteer team of 300+ health care professionals to deliver free, compassionate, quality health care services for close to 4,000 uninsured patients each year. Services include basic medical care, urgent dental care, medication assistance, immunizations, diabetes care and self-management, insurance and Medicaid navigation, and coordination of specialty medical and oral care in the community. We continually improve in our efforts to ensure that every member of our local community has access to free, compassionate, quality health care. Yet our vision remains the same: Compassionate Care - Always.

The Free Clinic of Southwest Washington never charges its patients. It is a community supported organization that does not receive insurance or government reimbursement for services. All services are provided with donations from individuals, businesses, foundations, and special events like GiveBIG. 

Your support is needed and greatly appreciated to help the Free Clinic of Southwest Washington continue to provide these crucial services. 

Your donations will be matched at 100%! We thank the generous supporters who make this possible.
