Free medical care for people in Sawmill with no insurance.
A volunteer physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant, a nurse, medication from the medication room, labs and referrals — at no cost to you, on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings. Three things decide whether you qualify.
Your household income is under the line
The line is in dollars, by how many people live on the income. It is the table below; the calculator under it reads the same table.
You have no health insurance
And you are not eligible for Medicaid or Medicare. Not sure? The patient navigator checks with you on the phone; being turned down for Medicaid is fine, so is being between jobs.
You live in Sawmill County
Anything with your address on it will do. If you are staying with someone, say so; that counts.
The income line
| People in the household | Income under, a month | Income under, a year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 person | $2,660 | $31,920 |
| 2 people | $3,607 | $43,280 |
| 3 people | $4,553 | $54,640 |
| 4 people | $5,500 | $66,000 |
Sample thresholds, set from the 2026 federal poverty guidelines. A real clinic sets its own line from the current guidelines it uses — the HHS poverty guidelines page. More than four people: call, the line goes up with each person.
Am I likely under the line?
Nothing you type here leaves this page. It is the table on the left, read for you.
Under the line means likely eligible, not certain: the navigator confirms it on the phone. Over the line means call anyway — the line moves when the household changes, and some costs are taken into account. Apply on the Get care page →
By the numbers, each with its method
People with at least one visit between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025, counted once each from the clinic record. Dental-day walk-ins who never registered are not included.
Every visit with a clinician in FY2025, plus dental-day patients seen. Nurse-only visits, medication pick-ups and phone calls are not counted.
Total expenses ($698,000) divided by 5,200 visits. Cash cost only: volunteer time is not valued and donated medication is not included.
Medication received through manufacturers' patient-assistance programs, valued at the manufacturer's stated wholesale price on the day it was dispensed. Shown separately from revenue and expenses, on the page and in the sample 990.
Hours signed in on the session sheet by licensed volunteers (physicians, NPs and PAs, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and hygienists) in FY2025. Counted, not valued in dollars.
Of patients with a hypertension diagnosis and at least two visits in FY2025, the share whose last reading was under 140/90. A clinic measure, not a claim about anyone's health.
No method, no number. Every figure comes from the clinic’s own record; the year that adds up is on the Financials page.
After you apply
Apply
Online in English or Spanish, at the desk during any session, or by calling 555-0180. Five minutes; nothing medical is asked.
A call within three business days
The patient navigator calls, confirms the three things, and books your first visit. Say if you would rather speak Spanish.
A first visit within three weeks
Usually an evening. Bring your medications and anything with your address. The visit takes about an hour the first time.

Sample video. Sawmill Free Clinic is invented, so it has no footage of its own: the clips are free stock (Pexels) and the narration is a synthetic voice. For a real organization connectNPO uses only the photos and clips its staff send.
The clinic’s year, in about a minute
Who can come and when, then the year ended 30 June 2025 in the clinic’s own figures: 1,400 patients, 5,200 visits, $134 a visit, $698,000 spent and $720,000 raised, with the $1.64 million of donated medication kept out of the totals — the same numbers this site and the sample Form 990 publish.
Made by connectNPO, who built this site. Up to five short videos a year are part of the plan.

Eligibility in dollars, with a calculator
The income line by household size is a staff sheet; the calculator reads the same rows and nothing leaves the page.
Check my household →Open now, from a sheet
Hours and closures are two staff sheets; the page works out open, opens at, or closed today, and the next session, by itself.
The hours →Every service with its cost per visit
$0 to the patient; what it costs the clinic, and the sentence that says how that was worked out.
Services →Credentialing in public
The five steps a volunteer clinician goes through, each stated with its official source, never advised.
The steps →Donated medication, valued and kept separate
$1.64 million of medication with its valuation method, beside a cash year that adds up without it.
Financials →The staff side
One menu for hours, closures, the income table, services, roles, dental days, numbers and documents. Signs you in as sample staff; nothing you change is saved.
