About This Clinic
Bethesda Health Clinic is NOT A FREE CLINIC, is a Christ-based clinic that provides affordable health and dental care to hardworking low-income adults who are uninsured or underinsured.
Bethesda serves hardworking low-income adults who have no insurance, or who are underinsured, which are those who have deductibles that are high relative to their income.
Dental Clinic:
Dental patients pay a modest fee per procedure at a discount relative to market prices.
Because
Medicare does not cover dental care, the Dental Clinic does provide
services to many low/fixed income individuals over the age of 65.
