Free resource, Find MI Care, available to health care consumers and providers; continues to expand across Michigan
|
More than a year following the launch of the breakthrough Find MI Care website and mobile app, powered by the Greater Detroit Area Health Council [GDAHC], we are expanding the reach into more counties. In addition to the seven-county southeast Michigan region, we have begun adding clinics from Ingham County (Lansing).
Did you know that Find MI Care is a free resource available to consumers, providers -- including clinics that want to be listed -- employers, and health plans?
Find MI Care enables consumers to locate free or low-cost health care services, such as physicians and dentists, near their home or work. The website and mobile app for Apple and Android devices are frequently updated.
- Search for free clinics and Federally-Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in the seven-county southeast Michigan region (expanding to additional counties).
- Find a clinic within a specific geographic radius, including by cross streets, city, zip code and region.
- Print a list of clinics that meet search criteria or print detailed information about specific clinic(s).
- Access information on community resources, including hotlines and links to social services.
- View clinic search results which include:
- Clinic name and photo;
- Address and map (the Google map is printable);
