Why We Do What We Do
We do what we do because part of our mission is to ensure the public health safety net, which for us means offering comprehensive health care - including preventative and primary care - at our health centers. It is this public health safety net that helps maintain us as a civil and caring community. Anyone is welcome in our health centers, regardless of ability to pay. The facilities accept many major types of insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid, and for Saint Louis County residents without health insurance, we offer a sliding fee scale based on several criteria (please call one of the health centers for more information).
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the South County Health Center website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.
Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2023
| Persons In Family Household | Poverty Guideline Salary per year |
|---|
| 1 | $14,580 |
| 2 | $19,720 |
| 3 | $24,860 |
| 4 | $30,000 |
| 5 | $35,140 |
| 6 | $40,280 |

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%.
I’ve walked in for my last two COVID vaccines. The nurses have the magic touch. My arm has never gotten sore. They are very friendly. I’ve never had to wait. They are doing a great job for the community.
