The Community Care Clinic is a free clinic that provides healthcare to low-income, uninsured persons in our community. Through our integrated care model, patients have access to high-quality services that include primary care, behavioral health, disease management, active follow-up, and continuity of care. Funds raised by the Pawfect Pets for Community Health help us to be able provide the services listed above completely free. A small percentage of money raised will also be donated to the Watauga Humane Society to support our neighbor organization who helps match humans with their perfect friend.
