Community Clinic

The Community Clinic currently operates two programs that ease the financial burden to patients in need of basic medical and dental care. The Community Clinic (formerly Commonwealth Health Free Clinic) coordinates basic medical and referral services for eligible patients while The Dental Clinic offers a low cost alternative for those in need of basic dental care.

Community Clinic

Basic medical services for eligible patients are now being provided by Medical Center Primary Care located at 350 Park Street, Suite 203, in Bowling Green. Patients must meet the Community Clinic’s guidelines for eligibility and present their Community Clinic card. Basic care includes acute care such as coughs, colds and flu as well as chronic care conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

• All patients must complete an application.
