We have designed a 2 in 1 medical office to assist you in meeting all your health care needs. From minor problems to the more complex diseases that require several tests and beyond to referral to specialists of all types, we want to serve you - assisting you to obtain all of your health care needs in the most efficient way. One of our physicians and a nurse practitioner are always assigned to the Walk-In care area where an immediate problem is addressed very quickly, so as to minimize wait for you. We do the most common tests, labs, EKG's, and x-rays immediately in our office. If a more serious problem is recognized the work up is begun and an appointment with your local doctor is scheduled for the needed continuation. If you do not have a local family doctor we can schedule an appointment with one of our six doctors to fill that need for you.
This Health Center is based on Sliding scale fees which are variable prices for products, services, or taxes based on a customer's ability to pay. Such fees are thereby reduced for those who have lower incomes, or alternatively, less money to spare after their personal expenses, regardless of income
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Med Assist website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
