Safety Net Clinics

Safety net clinics are healthcare providers that offer medical services primarily to underserved populations, including low-income individuals, uninsured, or underinsured communities. They aim to ensure everyone has access to essential health care regardless of financial situation. These clinics often operate with government funding, grants, or charity support, focusing on preventive care, chronic disease management, and basic health services. By providing accessible care outside traditional hospital settings, safety net clinics help reduce health disparities, lower emergency room visits, and promote overall community health.
