ECHO Free Clinic
The Institute for Family Health receives generous support from Robin Hood to operate a free clinic in the south Bronx. The clinic provides comprehensive, high-quality health care to uninsured adults. All services are free and confidential. The Free Clinic is open on Saturday mornings, except holidays.
We offer:
- Medical care for adults (including primary care, care for all genders, including women’s health and gynecology, men’s health, disease prevention and screening, vaccinations, and more)
- Health education
- Counseling
- Social work services for adults (including screening for public assistance, disability assistance, housing, food stamps, and more)
- Health insurance enrollment if you are eligible
The Free Clinic is operated in partnership with students from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Students are supervised at all times by senior Institute clinicians. Free clinic services are only for adults. All children in New York State are eligible for Child Health Plus health insurance. You can make an appointment at any of our locations and we will help your child enroll in Child Health Plus. After two visits to a free clinic, we will begin to make appointments for you at our full-time health center. The Institute for Family Health centers accept all patients, even those without insurance. We offer discounted services based on your family income. You will not be turned away.
