Community Care Clinic Of Rowan County

What Community Care Clinic Of Rowan County does

Community Care Clinic of Rowan County is a 501(c)(3) non-profit free clinic founded in 1994 and based in Salisbury, North Carolina, that delivers free primary medical care, dental care, and pharmacy services to approximately 1,500 uninsured adults in Rowan County who meet income-eligibility requirements. Core clinical services include chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, COPD, asthma), dental examinations, extractions, and fillings, and prescription medication dispensing through an in-house pharmacy staffed by a licensed pharmacist. Service delivery is layered with a Lifestyle Medicine program covering six domains (diet, exercise, substance use, sleep, stress, and social connectedness), Wellness Wednesdays programming (cooking demonstrations, Walking Wednesdays, food pharmacy), and supplementary specialty programs including Exercise Is Medicine, Healthy Eating, Tobacco Cessation, and Stress Management.

The clinic combines in-person visits at a single facility at 315G Mocksville Avenue with telemedicine consultations and mobile pop-up clinics. Diagnostic capability was materially expanded in 2021 when the clinic was selected as one of six U.S. free or charitable clinics to receive a point-of-care testing grant from BD, Heart to Heart International, and the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, enabling on-site testing for cholesterol panels, hemoglobin A1c, hepatitis C, urinalysis, pregnancy, strep A, flu, and INR. The clinic's parking lot serves as a Wi-Fi access point for telemedicine patients without home internet.

The clinic operates on a roughly $725,000 annual operating budget funded through grants from organizations including NAFC, BD, Heart to Heart International, CVS Health, Delta Dental Foundation, the CheckIt4Andretti Foundation, and the N.C. Dental Society Foundation, alongside individual donations and annual community fundraising events. It claims approximately $9.50 in care delivered per $1 donated and an estimated $4-5.4 million in annual emergency department diversion savings to Novant Health Rowan Regional Medical Center. In December 2024 the clinic absorbed the patient roster and select staff of the closing Good Shepherd Clinic, materially expanding its Spanish-speaking patient base.
