A Commitment to Wellness
Originally launched in December of 2008 by SAY Detroit as the nation’s first free medical clinic devoted to homeless children and their mothers, the clinic responded to community needs by shifting reach to adult patients and their families with limited income.
For those who qualify, we provide services free of charge for uninsured or underinsured patients. A list of accepted insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid, is available here, but please call the clinic for the most updated list of accepted insurers.
The clinic is operated by Trinity Health Michigan, and collaborates with partners in Detroit and Highland Park to deliver its services in and out of the clinic. Patients in need of more evening appointments may contact Trinity Health Primary Care – Detroit (5555 Conner Ave, Ste 2691) at 313-692-8400, which offers extended hours on Thursdays.
Volunteer Interest
We rely on the generosity of healthcare professionals to expand our services. If you are a specialist and are looking to make a meaningful impact, we invite you to volunteer with us. As a Specialty Provider Volunteer, you will have the opportunity to contribute your expertise by directly helping underserved populations who lack access to specialized care. Interested volunteers can contact the clinic directly at (313) 758-6100 or by emailing volunteer@saydetroitclinic.com. We cannot accept student placement at this time.
