Poore Medical Clinic

The Poore Medical Clinic is a community-based and community-supported free medical and dental clinic. Our mission is to increase the availability of healthcare by providing free medical and dental care to low income, uninsured individuals and families living in Coconino County.

Our clinic is run by volunteers. Every physician, dentist, nurse practitioner, physicians' assistant, counselor, nurse, medical assistant, office worker, interpreter, and IT specialist is a volunteer. Together, our staff has provided over 7,000 free patient visits to our community members. Since opening, we estimate that we have saved our community over a million dollars in emergency medical expenses. In 2013, our dedication to improving the health of our resource poor neighbors earned us the title of Flagstaff Organization of the Year.
