Why Free Healthcare Matters in Cabarrus County
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), approximately 25 million Americans remain uninsured — many of them working adults who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private coverage. The Community Free Clinic of Cabarrus County serves this exact population, providing free medical care, pharmacy services, and health education to low-income, uninsured adults. Research from the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC) shows that free clinics save the healthcare system an estimated $1,000 or more per patient visit by diverting non-emergency care away from costly emergency rooms. When you buy a $100 table on May 8, you're directly funding one complete wellness visit for someone who would otherwise go without care.
