Many of the patients we see at San Francisco Free Clinic come to us as a result of situations they cannot control. Some have lost their jobs and their insurance with it. Others work part-time and are simply unable to afford insurance.

For people in our community who are still uninsured, SFFC provides a safety net that makes all the difference. 

Here's what some of our patients have to say about us:

“I got really sick, and since I don’t have insurance, it was hard for me to go anywhere else. They took me in and took good care of me.”
“I lost my construction job and along with it, my insurance. When I come here, it’s like family—you’re not a number. They keep an eye on me, and they want to make sure I’m okay.”
“I used to think I’d have to suffer with illness without being treated, and now I know that’s not true. I can’t say enough about SFFC.”
“I felt so cared for—I didn’t just feel like a number. And I didn’t feel like I was being judged because I couldn’t afford to pay for medical care.”
