About us

Since 1971, Lake County Free Clinic has worked to ensure that uninsured and underinsured adults and children in our communities have access to much-needed, whole-person healthcare. The continue has continually responded to community need, and now, medical, dental and case management services are offered at 462 Chardon Street in Painesville.
Through the support of generous foundations, organizations and individuals, LCFC offers all services free-of-charge. Many patients donate to support the clinic’s operating budget and give health to others in the community.
Our mission
Lake County Free Clinic exists to address the unmet healthcare needs of the residents of our community through the provision of quality medical and dental care.


Our vision
An engaged community in which health care needs are met with high-quality care while maximizing community resources.
