community clinics
Local medical centers
Community clinics are healthcare facilities that serve local populations, typically offering basic medical services at low or no cost.
They often operate in underserved areas where residents lack access to private healthcare or insurance.
Services usually include primary care, preventive screenings, and vaccinations: The community clinic offers free flu shots every fall.
Many are nonprofit or government-funded.
