About Us
The mission of the Free Medical Clinic of DuBois is to provide FREE Medical Care, Dental Care, and Pharmaceutical services to the uninsured people of Clearfield, Jefferson, and Elk Counties.
History
The Free Medical Clinic of DuBois, Inc. is an established health clinic that has provided free primary healthcare services, pharmaceuticals, diagnostic testing and specialty referral services to low-income uninsured residents of the tri-county region. The Free Medical Clinic has provided $22 million dollars of free medical services to the underserved, vulnerable residents in the surrounding communities.
In addition to offering quality primary healthcare services, the clinic also offers Dental Healthcare Services, Vision Care Services – Routine Eye Exam, Diabetic Eye Exam and Corrective Eye Wear. Since opening the Oral Health Care Program in 2017 we have continually expanded services and now provide free dental care to eligible Veterans. We plan to further integrate our primary healthcare services with the expansion of our Oral Healthcare Program and Behavior Healthcare Program.
The Clinic has experienced change over the years. Various Executive Directors have directed the course of the clinic through healthcare mandates and changes in the service delivery models. However, the one thing that has remained constant is our mission to honor the legacy of the founders by continuing to provide free competent, compassionate and confidential care to the eligible, uninsured residents of our tri-county region.The Free Medical Clinic of DuBois, Inc. is a growing legacy to our founders:
- Sister Rita Kartavich
- Raymond Graeca
- Joanne Kurtz
- Karyn King
They saw significant needs in our communities and worked tirelessly to turn their vision and goal of providing a much needed safety net of healthcare and pharmaceuticals to the uninsured individuals in our communities.
