Free clinics in Jacksonville: medical and dental care without insurance

Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) Jacksonville — free primary care
The city’s flagship free clinic: volunteer doctors and nurses provide primary care, chronic-disease management, labs, and some specialty referrals — completely free for uninsured adults who qualify by income. Call first for eligibility and appointments: (904) 399-2766, 3728 Philips Highway, Suite 100 (32207). If you were denied Medicaid, read this first: Denied Medicaid in Florida? Here’s what to do next.
Duval Family Health Center (Sulzbacher) — care for everyone, including people without a home
Sulzbacher’s health center serves adults and families regardless of insurance or housing status, on a sliding-fee scale — primary care, behavioral health, and dental at the downtown campus: (904) 394-1356, 611 E. Adams Street (32202).
Agape Family Health — low-cost care on the Northside and Westside
A faith-based community health center with multiple Jacksonville locations offering primary care, pediatrics, dental, and behavioral health on a sliding scale based on income. Main line: (904) 766-3000.
WeCareJax — free specialist care by referral
WeCareJax connects uninsured Duval adults with volunteer specialists — cardiology, orthopedics, surgery, and more — through a referral from a participating primary-care clinic. Ask your free clinic about a WeCareJax referral; you cannot self-refer.
Children’s dental — Duval County Health Department
The Florida Department of Health in Duval County provides children’s dental services at low or no cost for eligible kids, plus school-based sealant programs. Call (904) 253-1000 for dental clinic hours and eligibility.
Before you go — three habits that save you a wasted trip
- Call first. Hours, walk-in policies, and income documents change — a two-minute call beats a bus ride to a closed door.
- Bring income proof. Pay stubs, a benefits letter, or a tax return — most free clinics ask for it once, then keep you on file.
- Ask about prescriptions. Many clinics stock common medications free or connect you with $4 generics and patient-assistance programs — never skip doses for cost without asking.
