Ithaca Health Alliance - The Ithaca Free Clinic

The Ithaca Free Clinic

With the opening of the Ithaca Free Clinic (IFC) in January, 2006, the IHA fulfilled one of its earliest dreams by making free care available to uninsured residents. In doing so, Ithaca has joined the ranks of generally much larger cities in the U.S. Financed through membership savings from 1997 to the Free Clinic's inception, members continue to support the IFC, as do donations from the wider community. The IHA has also received competitive grants that have allowed for better-supported and expanded Free Clinic services.
