Free and low-cost community clinics, prescription assistance programs, and affordable medication guides — a navigator for the 28 million uninsured Americans and the millions more facing unaffordable healthcare bills.
Curated, practical guides on finding affordable healthcare, prescription assistance, and the medication access programs most patients don't know exist.
Every state has a network of volunteer-staffed community clinics serving uninsured and low-income patients. Here's how to find yours.

Read guide →Local community pharmacies, mail-order programs, and verified international pharmacies that serve patients without US insurance coverage.
Read guide →Free clinics that serve men's health concerns, telemedicine options for routine prescriptions, and affordable approaches to chronic care management.

Read guide →Commonwealth Health Free Clinic is a resource navigator — not a clinic itself — built for patients trying to find affordable healthcare in a fragmented American system.
We document free clinics by state, decode the prescription assistance programs that pharmaceutical companies don't advertise, and write plainly about the medication cost gap that affects one in four Americans.
The site is independently published, advertisement-free, and has been linked from Western Kentucky University, the Commonwealth Health Foundation, and benefits navigation services as a community health reference.
More about us →28 million Americans are uninsured. Another 43 million are underinsured. Among them, 1 in 4 say they've skipped a prescription in the past year because of cost. That's not a system failure on the margin — it's the system as designed. Information is the first defense.
