The Clinic also supplies information about illness, including the prevention of disability and disease through early detection, education and treatment. These responsibilities, in conjunction with the evaluation and appropriate referral of patients who require specialist evaluation and treatment, comprise the scope of practice for Kevin's Community Center Clinic.

*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%.
