If you need to see a doctor or get some medical care and you're in Brooklyn, and you don't have insurance, then where can you go to get free or lower cost health care? Before just heading to the ER, consider going to a community health center.

Where Can I Get Free HealthCare in Brooklyn? Community Health Centers

1. What are Community Health Centers? According to NY City , "Community Health Care Centers provide comprehensive and cost effective primary care and supportive services that promote access to health care."
2. What about insurance? "These centers accept health insurance and also provide services to the uninsured on a sliding fee scale."
3. What services do they provide? It varies. Call the clinic(s) before you go to check that they offer what you think you need, and also to check the hours of operation. For instance, as of spring 2012, a new 38,000 square foot Bedford-Stuyvesant Family Health Center "offers comprehensive primary care and preventive services - including prenatal health, OB/GYN, chronic disease management, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, dental, pediatrics, and nutritional education" to more than 20,000 patients in Bed-Stuy and surrounding communities.
