At the clinic
During your visit
- Step 01
Check in
Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment. No ID is needed. New patients complete basic paperwork. We ask for a $25 donation to help cover expenses; if that is beyond your means, we will gladly see you for free.
- Step 02
Your visit
As part of whole-person healthcare, you will be offered prayer support by a volunteer prayer partner. Your religious or spiritual beliefs—or non-beliefs—are fully respected. Prayer partners also offer compassion and a listening ear.
A student doctor, resident, or other provider will lead your appointment. All students and residents are overseen by a supervising doctor who signs off on the care provided.
- Step 03
Check out
Your provider will walk you to the discharge desk, where you will receive any follow-up appointment information, referrals, prescriptions, and your receipt.
