We are a nonprofit organization that provides medical services to underserved adults, ages 18-64, in our community.

If you or a loved one is uninsured and makes less than 200% of poverty level, then please contact us to see if you qualify to receive free medical care.

Swain County Caring Corner will treat all qualified applicants without requiring any documentation.  However, we can provide limited services in our clinic.

To be eligible for additional services we are partnered with both the Duke LifePoint/Swain Community Hospital and NCMedAssist.

Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Swain County Caring Corner 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%.
