The Free Clinic of Simi Valley has provided continuous service since its establishment in 1971 as a non-profit, volunteer-based community service organization. The mission of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley is to provide medical care, counseling, dental and legal assistance to individuals and families, regardless of their ability to pay. This includes those of all ages, ethnicities, religions and socioeconomic backgrounds, who are unable to use traditional sources within the community.
Medical Program
The Free Clinic of Simi Valley's Medical Program addresses the health problems facing uninsured or underinsured individuals and families in the community. Volunteer physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and physician assistants provide direct diagnosis, treatment, and education for a wide variety of health problems. Services offered are identical to those of a private doctors office, and are made on an appointment basis. Please call 522-3733 after 5 PM Monday through Friday to make an appointment. All lab work is performed at local laboratories and medications are often provided for patients at no charge.
Dental Program
The Free Clinic has recently begun providing dental services at our Dental Clinic. Services include x-ray, cleaning, fillings and extractions. Please call the clinic for further information.
We also provide fluoride treatments to children aged 0 to six years old. To get an appointment, please call 522.3733 after 5 pm any weeknight.
Counseling Program
The purpose of the Free Clinic's counseling program is to provide service to individuals and families who lack insurance, financial means, or a desire to seek therapy elsewhere. Marriage and Family Therapist trainees provide counseling under the supervision of a licensed MFT. The program is governed under the regulations of the Board of Behavioral Science. Individuals and families spend one hour per week in a private confidential setting receiving careful guidance and caring support from trained counselors, who are skilled in helping clients deal with stress, depression, and communication-related problems. The average course of therapy ranges from six weeks to six months. Appointments are available at various times throughout the week. Please call the clinic between 5 and 8PM for more information or to make appointments.
