On Thursday November 26, The Dr. Oz Show joined The National Association of Free Clinics in Houston, Texas. In one day, over 1,700 Americans were provided with medical care. 

The National Association of Free Clinics (NAFC) was founded in 2001 to provide medical, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health care to those with no insurance. Funded by donations, companies, and organizations and staffed with professional volunteers, allows NAFC to provide this service regardless of the ability to pay. 

One of many clinics is located in Orlando, called Shepherd's Hope. For assistance visit 4851 South Apopka Vineland Road, or call 407-876-6699. Locations of other clinics can be located on the NAFC web site.

The NAFC is currently in need of volunteers for the Kansas City, Missouri free clinic. Information is also available on how to start a free dental clinic in your own community. Donations are also accepted for a little at $10.
