Open Door Health Center, Inc.

Opened in 2001 as an LLC and incorporated in 2004, ODHC is a free clinic for the uninsured poor (income under 300% of Federal Poverty Level-FPL) using collaborative community partnerships to promote/support its mission. Its goal is to provide quality comprehensive primary health care, special health education/chronic disease self-management programs and referrals in a welcoming environment engendering trust. ODHC provides: 1) free primary care; 2) special health education/chronic disease management tailored to its patient population; 3) Health screenings and disease specific care including women & Children's Health and 4) referrals for pro bono specialty care. ODHC learned lack of patient education has high costs; it uses evidence based health care services stressing health promotion, disease prevention, early detection, collaboration and patient/community education. ODHC has served this community for 20 years, providing free primary healthcare to low income vulnerable residents. Partnerships provide patients with specialty and tertiary healthcare as well as other needed services. ODHC services have positively impacted the health of the uninsured poor and much is due to our collaborators and donors trust and investment.
