Free Website Helps Uninsured Find Health Care

Oct. 6, 2008 - PRLog -- DETROIT—The estimated 47 million uninsured Americans now have a tool to help them find free or low-cost clinics, where they can obtain basic medical care.  
WhereToFindCare.com has just unveiled its free clinic search, which is designed to help low income and uninsured or under-insured people find health care providers who offer basic medical care for little or no cost.  Users can search and even rate their experiences with the clinics for free.
Until now, it was difficult to find free clinics and people in need had to rely on word-of-mouth or referrals from emergency rooms or doctors’ offices who couldn’t accept them.  Now it is as simple as going online and entering a zip code.  http://www.WhereToFindCare.com is adding clinics to its data base state by state.  Visitors are encouraged to submit clinics using an online form if they are missing.  WhereToFindCare.com is donating free Premium Home Pages to free clinics.  Free clinic administrators may request their free, enhanced listing by entering the sales code FREECLINIC at http://wheretofindcare.com/premium_contact.aspx.  
“Lack of health insurance and access to health care is a major problem in this country,” says Dawn Hall, co-founder of WhereToFindCare.com.  “We want to do something to help.”  To locate a free clinic in your area, go to www.WhereToFindCare.com enter your zip code and select free clinics.  The website will provide contact information and directions to the clinic.  Services provide by free clinics are often limited so contact the clinics directly for restrictions and hours in the event this information has not been provided.
