A Building That Tells A Story: Every wing, hallway, room, and parking space will tell a unified story through the levels of giving from community members. It will all shout this truth: When a community chooses to invest in families in need who work hard to improve their own lives, we will roll up our sleeves and give a helping hand so they can experience life-changing care. Each patient who walks into the Free Medical Clinic will be inspired that they are not forgotten and never alone. DOWNLOAD THE DONOR KIT TO BECOME A PART OF THE STORY!

Caring Neighbors Take Action: No More Fear for Low-Income & Uninsured Families as FMC Volunteers have a New Home! A strong community is built when people are given a place to come together in the service of something larger than themselves. FMC provides that place—a welcoming, purpose-driven home where community members, and especially medical professionals, can use their skills to make a real difference in the lives of their neighbors. More than a clinic, it is a hub of compassion where volunteers find meaning, connection, and the opportunity to turn care into action. JOIN OUR TEAM HERE!

RURAL & MINORITY PATIENTS GET A NEW CLINIC HOME!

The Free Medical Clinic is expanding its Oak Ridge clinic by relocating to a new facility (The Old National Guard Armory) at 1790 Oak Ridge Turnpike, allowing us to improve care and increase capacity as we serve low-income and uninsured families who depend on FMC for no-charge medical, mental health, dental, vision, women’s health, chronic disease management, and community health services.

This new location will significantly increase our capacity to care for the working poor in Oak Ridge and the surrounding counties. Through this expansion, FMC is advancing our organizational vision of becoming a best-in-class clinic for the working poor, ensuring community and evidence-based care for years to come.

Every community is measured not by what it has, but by how it cares for those in need. Thousands of hardworking families live each day, often delaying the care they need, rationing medications, and carrying chronic illness quietly—until crisis forces them into deeper hardship. This project is not about bricks and mortar. It is about taking away the fear of “what if I get sick or hurt, what will I do?” FMC takes that fear away, gets people back to work and school so they never live in fear of not having medical access. That is why FMC exists: Your investment takes that fear away, GIVE HERE.
