Health Partners Free Clinic

What Health Partners Free Clinic does

Health Partners Free Clinic is a nonprofit free clinic established in July 1998 that provides no-cost primary healthcare services to uninsured and underinsured residents of Miami County, Ohio, and surrounding counties. Operating from a single site at The Paul G. Duke Health Center in Troy, Ohio, the clinic delivers primary medical visits, same-day sick appointments, diagnostic and lab testing, onsite pharmacy and prescription assistance, insurance navigator counseling, social services coordination, and a satellite food bank site in partnership with First Place Food Bank. All services are provided free of charge to eligible patients.

The clinic is supported entirely by donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, supplemented by fundraising events and alternative giving channels such as Amazon Wish List and Kroger Community Rewards. Its operating model is volunteer-driven, with 2,912 volunteer hours contributed annually and a paid staff of 1-10 employees. Key institutional supporters include The Duke Foundation and the Robinson Foundation, whose lead donations enabled the 2007 construction of the Duke Health Center that tripled patient capacity. The organization also partners with Miami County agencies and St. Vincent Charitable Pharmacy to address patient barriers to care.

Health Partners Free Clinic reported 2,400 medical visits provided, 600 individuals helped, and $320,000 raised in the current year. It maintains no proprietary technology platform beyond a basic patient portal, conducts no AI or ML initiatives, and serves exclusively through in-person service delivery. The organization is led by founders Pat Robinson and Thom Robinson, with Deborah Miller serving as board contact, and is governed by a board of directors as an independent nonprofit entity without a parent company or subsidiaries.
