KC CARE Health Center

Just as it was formed to do in 1971, KC CARE Health Center (formerly Kansas City CARE Clinic) exists to promote health and wellness by providing quality care, access, research and education to the under-served and all people in our community. Today KC CARE provides health care services in general medicine, HIV prevention and primary care, behavioral health, and dentistry. We accomplish this with a full-time staff of nearly 160 and over 700 volunteers. One of the largest charitable community health clinics in the country, KC CARE Health Center became a Federally Qualified Health Center in 2015. KC CARE is funded through patient payments, insurance reimbursement, donations, grants, special events, United Way, and contributed goods and services. We are located in three urban locations along major bus routes in Kansas City, Missouri. With its current funding, staff and volunteers, KC CARE cares for more than 10,000 clinical patients and touches more than 20,000 through community services. Get involved with KC CARE, and be a part of our mission!
