Healthy Communities/Healthy America Fund

Because of the approximately 45 million Americans without health insurance, hundreds of communities nationwide have developed free clinics. These non-profit clinics bring together health care professionals and other community volunteers to offer free or low cost health care to low-income, uninsured and underinsured people. Funding is generally raised on the local level and there is little if any government funding or support.

While the AMA works to expand medical coverage at the advocacy level, the AMA Foundation supports these efforts by recognizing the extraordinary physicians and volunteers working at these free clinics.

Through the Healthy Communities/Healthy America program, the AMA Foundation awards $10,000-$25,000 grants to physician-led free clinics.
The Healthy Communities/Healthy America grant program is supported in part by a generous grant from Pfizer Inc.
