Community Health Free Clinic
Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, IA
In 1992, when it became apparent there was need in the community for primary medical care for a growing number of uninsured working people, two family physicians and two nurses founded the 1st free medical clinic in Cedar Rapids. Volunteer nurses and physicians were recruited to team the new Cedar Rapids Free Medical Clinic (CRFMC) held in donated space in Jane Boyd Community House. This geographic location was perfect as it was close to both hospitals, near the center of Cedar Rapids and not far from public transportation.
