Dear jcourage,

To look for free clinics in your area, you can use an online search engine like http://www.google.com/ and search for free clinic. Don’t forget to include your city & state when using Google.

To find out if your friend qualifies for any type of low income program, he can call Foundation for Health Insurance Education at 1-800-234-1317.

Sincerely,
