Free & low-cost care: Community Health Centers in Ohio

Ohio's community health centers are part of a national safety-net network that served more than 30 million patients in 2023, anchored by HRSA's Section 330 program and the look-alike and community clinics that work alongside it. Every center listed provides care regardless of your insurance status, with fees set by your income, so a visit costs less, or nothing, when you earn less. Bring a photo ID and proof of income to your first visit, and ask whether they can enroll you in Medicaid or marketplace coverage the same day.

For Black patients in Ohio, FQHCs fill a critical gap left by commercial primary care: they staff Medicaid navigators, run in-house 340B pharmacies, provide on-site dental and behavioral health care, and offer enabling services like transportation and translation. Many Ohio centers specialize in serving historically underserved Black communities and have Black-majority clinical staff.

Not seeing what you need? Check nearby states via the national directory, or verify hours and current services directly with the center before you visit, FQHC schedules can shift with grant cycles.
