Free Clinic Care in Birmingham, AL
Healthcare Support Rooted in Compassion
Not everyone in Birmingham has access to a doctor. And for adults without health insurance, a simple routine check-up can feel out of reach, let alone ongoing care for chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. That's exactly why the Free Clinic at M-POWER Ministries exists.
We provide free, compassionate medical care to uninsured adults in the Birmingham area. Here, you can find real, continuous healthcare. Whether you're dealing with a new health concern or managing a long-term condition, our team is here to help you get healthy, feel better, and stay on your feet.
Services at the Free Clinic cover a wide range of needs, including primary care visits, routine physicals, chronic illness treatment, free medicine for qualifying patients, lab testing, eye exams, and physical therapy. Our goal is to make sure a lack of insurance never stands between you and the care your body needs.
Who We Serve
The M-POWER Ministries Free Clinic serves uninsured adults between 19 and 64 in the Birmingham, Alabama area.
If you don't have health insurance and fall within that age range, you may be eligible for care. Some services, including free medication assistance, may have additional income-based eligibility requirements.
Here are a few things to know before your visit:
-
Patients must be uninsured to receive care.
-
Age eligibility is 19–64 years old.
-
Free medicine assistance requires proof that household income is at or below 300% of the federal poverty level.
-
New patients must complete the New Patient Intake Form and bring proof of income to their first visit.
Our Medical Services
The M-POWER Free Clinic offers a range of free medical services and support programs for qualifying adults. Each service is designed to work together so patients receive coordinated, continuous care rather than a single disconnected visit. Learn more about each service below.

If you have any questions, please call (205) 582-1484 or (205) 582-1483 for Spanish.
Once you've been seen at the Walk-In Clinic, you may become eligible for the Free Chronic Clinic and can be referred to other internal services, including the Eye Clinic and Physical Therapy.
Follow-up care is a central part of how the Health Center works. Chronic illness patients are scheduled for regular return visits at least quarterly so our staff can monitor their health consistently over time.
Support Beyond the Appointment
While a single doctor's visit is helpful, people dealing with chronic conditions really need a system that works for them week after week.
Our services are designed to connect with one another, so a patient who comes in for primary care can be referred to lab testing, an eye exam, physical therapy, and free medicine—all within the same organization. That kind of coordinated care makes a real difference, especially for patients managing conditions like diabetes or hypertension, where multiple factors have to be monitored simultaneously.
Free medications tie directly to the care plan of patients who qualify. Lab results inform treatment decisions. Follow-up appointments to keep progress on track. It all works together.
Why Patients Trust the Health Center
The M-POWER Free Clinic is staffed by a dedicated team of physicians, nurses, medical students, and nursing students who bring both clinical expertise and genuine commitment to their work. Every person on our team understands the deep impact of this work and why it matters.
As a Christian-based nonprofit, M-POWER Ministries has a long history of supporting the underserved residents of our Birmingham community. The Free Clinic is one expression of that mission as a concrete, practical response to the fact that thousands of people in our city do not have health insurance or access to consistent care.
También contamos con personal bilingüe para atender a nuestros pacientes que hablan español.
Our priority is to deliver care with dignity, treat patients with respect, adhere to their privacy, and take their health goals seriously, regardless of their personal or financial circumstances.
