Our Impact
Imagine living every day with the fear of getting sick and losing the job needed to support yourself or your family. Imagine your children getting sick and not having the means to care for them. This is the reality for many low-income, uninsured individuals. For more than 20 years, Trinity Free Clinic has been committed to providing exemplary medical, dental, and vision care for Hamilton County neighbors in need. Access to quality medical and dental care makes a critical difference in the lives of individuals and families — giving them peace of mind and reducing financial stress — and we continue to work every day toward a healthier Hamilton County.
Bridging the Gap for Health Equity
Our patients are people you see every day in our community — the people who make Hamilton County a great place to live! They are landscapers, contractors, grocery clerks, food servers, childcare workers, and housekeepers. The majority of our patients work, but their jobs do not include health insurance benefits.
Hamilton County residents without health insurance are more likely to go untreated, miss work, or end up in the emergency room, where medical care is most expensive and health issues are treated but not resolved. Unable to afford the care they need, many patients come to Trinity with long-untreated medical or dental needs.
Many Trinity patients are also dealing with one or more of the following: language/literacy barriers; food, housing, or employment insecurity; anxiety and depression. Our volunteers and clinical staff provide compassionate care within the context of patients’ social and cultural needs. It’s the only way to provide informed, effective care.
