Matthews Free Medical Clinic

Matthews Free Medical Clinic (MFMC) is 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that provides free, quality healthcare to low-income, uninsured patients in Mecklenburg and Union Counties. MFMC is not a walk-in clinic. In order to verify the residential and financial requirements are met, patients must go through a new patient screening prior to receiving a primary care provider and other specialty, ancillary and educational services provided by the clinic. Patients must live in Mecklenburg or Union County for at least three months, be at or below 250% of the FPL for their household size, and be completely uninsured. MFMC primarily relies on medical and non-medical volunteers to carry out our mission. We currently have more than 30 volunteer providers, which allow us to provide acute and chronic primary care, gynecology, cardiology, and pulmonology-related services, chiropractic and case management, physical therapy, behavioral health services, nutrition counseling, smoking cessation, educational sessions, and much more. Our non-medical volunteers help provide front desk services, screening, administrative, and special project support. We could not provide the same level of high-quality care provided without our amazing volunteers!
