The Dillon County Free Medical Clinic is a non-profit organization that is recognized by the South Carolina Secretary of State as a public charity. We are a faith based organization that seeks to provide routine medical care to the working uninsured residents of Dillon County. This ministry is committed to honoring the God given dignity and value of all people, regardless of race, nationality, or creed. Our mission is to promote the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of those who need our care.
All emergency cases are referred to McLeod Medical Center-Dillon. The clinic sees patients for routine medical care such as the management of hypertension, diabetes, or asthma. Such care is provided by appointment only.
Although the clinic will provide some pharmaceutical support to its patients, it will not have access to narcotics.

*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%.
