Free primary Healthcare for the uninsured of Greater Hartford - CONNECTICUT State Prize

Free primary Healthcare for the uninsured of Greater Hartford - CONNECTICUT State Prize

AXION

In Central Connecticut, there is no completely free option available to the uninsured for medical care other than the existing hospital and community health facilities, which have been proven to be an extraordinary administrative and financial burden for these facilities. Even with the availability of federally-funded community clinics, the sliding scale fees are still more than many uninsured persons can afford. We estimate that for every dollar we spend, a hospital, clinic or community health center avoids spending not less than $3 and as much as $7 with three year projected savings of over $3 million. To a person who is unemployed, a student, or a person seeking to enter drug rehab this amount is extraordinary. MHC provides primary health care free, without discrimination, to persons from all economic, religious, and geographic backgrounds. Our service is unique in that it goes to where the people live to serve them. Many of the neediest have no means of traveling to fixed location clinics and do not feel comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings. We bring medical care directly to their neighborhoods through the use of the mobile van. We would literally not exist without our volunteers. The free primary medical care is provided by the continuing contribution of time and effort from our volunteer doctors and other medical professionals which we value in-kind as over $1,000,000 annually. The mobile van is used to serve patients at four locations, four days of the week.
