Providing Care With Dignity
IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY SINCE 1968
The Origin:
In 1968, The Christian Nursing Service established a free clinic in Montgomery County, Indiana.
For 50 years, that clinic provided healthcare services to those in need.
In 2009, they asked community stakeholders a new question: what's the best way to provide medical and dental care to uninsured people in Montgomery County.
The answer was clear. A New Organization
The Montgomery County Free Clinic.
