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.

In order to become a patient at PFHC, a patient must first be determined eligible by completing an Intake Appointment. To schedule an Intake Appointment, please call us at 732-212-0777.

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 Requirements

Eligibility for service to the Parker Family Health Center is based on 2024 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.

Getting Started

  1. Clients must show Proof of Residency in Monmouth County. This may be shown by: bills or rent receipts, driver’s license, or something verifying that you live at an address in Monmouth County. A Post Office Box is not acceptable.
     

  2.

  3. If you have insurance, you are not eligible. If you are eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, or if you are a Veteran, you should go to your designated provider.
