Patient Information

Overview

The Parker Family Health Center (PFHC) provides free medical care for Monmouth County residents who meet certain requirements and who are without any medical insurance, including either Medicare or Medicaid. All of our support comes from generous donors, grants and fundraising events. The Parker Family Health Center is not a walk-in clinic nor can it provide behavioral mental health services.

The Parker Family Health Center offers general medical care provided by a core medical staff supported by local medical volunteers. We do not offer a full range of specialty services but offer some specialty services as available from our volunteers and/or through recommendations and by referrals.

Eligibility for service to the Parker Family Health Center is based on 2023 Federal Poverty levels. You are eligible if your annual income is under 300% of that level and you are uninsured. Individuals do not qualify for services if they have Medicare or Medicaid.  

For example, if you are a Monmouth County family of four without any medical insurance and have a total household income of under $90,000, your family qualifies for care at Parker Family Health Center.
