- Teton Free Clinic provides free primary medical care for the low-income, uninsured & medically under-served people, of all walks of life, who live or work in the Jackson Hole area, who make less than 200% of Area Median Income. Since our inception in 2003, we’ve been treating 25-30 patients each week. The clinic is mostly staffed by the generous help of volunteer physicians, nurses and community volunteers who share in the vision that everyone should be able to see a doctor regardless of their ability to pay.
- Without the Teton Free Clinic, a significant portion of our community would not get needed health care. Instead they wait for a crisis and go to the emergency room which is the most expensive form of health care delivery, adding up to higher health care costs in our community.
- Health care insurance policies are expensive and are often cost prohibitive to many businesses-especially in Jackson where many workers are only employed seasonally. The number of seasonal workers treated every week is rising and makes up a significant portion of our patient population.
- Each patient is given a number at each visit, and patients are called by lottery system. This assures that all patients have an equal opportunity at being served as early as possible. It is NOT a First Come, First Served system.
