2 Affordable Baytown Clinics That Help The Uninsured


I say this in every article I write about low cost medical clinics, but the fact remains that…

There are clinics that will provide you with treatment regardless of you being low income, recently laid off or if you are an uninsured contractor working at one of the Baytown chemical plans.

The clinics that provide this treatment are called federally qualified health centers and there are 2 of these clinics in Baytown that I will tell you about in this article. 

Again if you are uninsured or have no money, you can receive treatment. These clinics will bill you based on a “sliding scale” which means the price you pay depends on your monthly income. Even if you make $0 a month, these clinics can help you, so just trust me and continue reading my friend!

1. Harris Health System Baytown
