Our Clinic
What is the WGMC?
The Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 funded organization that provides free medical and dental care to adults who have no health insurance or medical care entitlements and meet prescribed income guidelines. Care is provided by physicians, dentists and other professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to the Clinic.
How are we funded?
The Clinic is funded by the United Ways of Will and Grundy counties, our four partner hospitals, local businesses and individuals. We hold three fundraising events and conduct two fund drives each year. Dental and medical personnel offer their services at no charge and the partner hospitals provide millions of dollars of contributed services in the form of surgical suites, diagnostic testing and lab work.
Why Does the Clinic Deserve Support?
Our Clinic is the only totally free clinic in the two-county area for those who have no insurance and limited financial resources.
How to Apply for Patient Status?
Individuals who want to become patients must meet eligibility requirements and must apply for patient status. For individuals that require specialty care, the Clinic must be able to obtain referrals from dentists and physicians who will volunteer their services.
