This Health Center is based on Sliding scale fees which are variable prices for products, services, or taxes based on a customer's ability to pay. Such fees are thereby reduced for those who have lower incomes, or alternatively, less money to spare after their personal expenses, regardless of income.
Hours of Operation:
Monday to Thursday: 7:30 am to 5:30 pm
Friday: 7:30 am to 11:30 am
Saturday: Closed
Sunday: Closed
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Memphis Health Center Towne Center 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%.
