Health Care for the Uninsured
HealthLink Medical Center offers primary care and dental services to uninsured, working adult residents of Bucks and Montgomery Counties. For more information and eligibility requirements, visit their website.
The Clinic, in Phoenixville, PA offers medical care for those who are uninsured and under-insured, and the cost of a visit is dependent on what you can afford- so if you can only afford to pay a dollar, that’s what you’ll pay. Although the Clinic used to serve a vast region, the current economic situation has forced them to limit care to residents in areas surrounding the Phoenixville and Paoli Hospitals. For more information, visit their website.
Website We Love
Check out www.pparx.org- The Partnership for Prescription Assistance helps eligible patients, without prescription drug coverage, to get the medicines they need through a program that is right for them. They’ve helped millions of people get low-cost or free prescription medications. Visit their website or call 1-888-477-2669 to see if you’re eligible.
