would be nice to have on their phone answering machine what their hours of operation are...that would be helpful..or at least the next day they are open,,,so a patient isn't waiting for a call back.

The Ellsworth Free Medical Clinic helps uninsured individuals & families with physician services, even arranging for free or low cost diagnostics through the local hospital & advocates for reduced fees when referrals to specialist are in the patients' best interest. This is the only Free Clinic in Maine with no "geographical boundaries". There's no charge for physician services, although donations are welcome as the Clinic exists dependent only on volunteers, private grants and donations.The Clinic also helps qualifying people (their own & other physicians' patients) apply for free or low-cost pharmaceutical assistance programs. The Clinic's staff even assists with applications (if needed) to ensure needed documentation is attached to the application.Each year influenza vaccinations is provided to the community for a nominal fee and the Clinic is working on making other adult vaccines available although the Clinic usually keeps a supply of children's vaccines on hand.
