Joy Southfield Community Devel

Mission Statement

Founded by Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001, Joy-Southfield Community Development Corporation initially operated a "mini-clinic" for uninsured residents. Located in the church, the mini-clinic provided preventive health screening, physical examinations, vaccinations, immunizations and follow-up on hospital emergency department visits. In order to meet an increasing need for primary and preventive healthcare program, we began construction of the 3900 square foot Joy-Southfield Health and Education Center in 2005. The Health and Education Center opened in May 2006 with expanded capacity for providing primary care, preventive health and disease management programs. The health clinic was designated "The Juanita Reaves Free Clinic" in honor of the woman who was the driving force behind the formation of the clinic. The new facility, financed largely by the United Methodist Church, and supported by a diverse network of churches, faiths, community organizations, and foundations, enables us to begin reducing healthcare disparities within the community.

Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2023

For Households with more than 8 persons, add $4,480 for each additional person.
*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%.
