Since 1985, and then under the name Health Care for the Homeless, Unity Health Care has been dedicated to serving Washington, DC residents in need of a range of critical health care services. In 1996 the organization expanded when it became the Federal government’s emergency grantee for the Community Health Center Program. In 1997 it adopted the name Unity Health Care, Inc. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, Unity Health Care receives cost-based reimbursement from Medicare and other programs, drug discounts, and the ability to recruit providers from the National Health Service Corp, among other benefits. In June 2001, Unity Health Care joined the DC Healthcare Alliance, a collaborative of a variety of local health care providers that provide wrap-around services to those most in need in the District of Columbia.

Please be aware that not all clinics are totally cost-free. Sliding Scale doesn't mean free. Many times, we will include surrounding clinics in our search results because certain cities only have a small number of clinics. The information about the clinics is provided on the page, but we cannot guarantee that it is true; you must contact the clinic directly. Depending on your income or the kind of financial support the clinic provides, the price of its services may vary. To talk about the costs of various services, get in touch with the clinic directly. Please get in touch with us if you discover any outdated or improper information on our website.
