About Us
Our Mission is to share Christ’s love through practical acts of compassion by providing free healthcare services to those in need in Benton and Franklin Counties and Burbank.
Our History
Grace Clinic began operating in June 2002, seeing patients for four hours each Saturday in the basement of the Methodist church in downtown Pasco.
Founded by two local physicians, the Clinic provides services to low-income, uninsured residents of Benton and Franklin counties and is operated primarily by volunteers. In the early days, the Clinic only provided medical care and then over time added dental and mental health services. Since opening our doors, we have provided more than 100,000 patient visits. That’s more than one hundred thousand times someone walked through the Clinic’s door and accessed services that generally were not available to them in any other fashion.
The most recent estimates from the Washington Insurance Commissioner indicate that there are 27,000 people in our community without insurance. The vast majority of these individuals work in low wage jobs for employers that do not offer medical benefits. Grace Clinic helps to fill gaps in the healthcare system for under-served people in our community. We invite you to join us in this much needed and fulfilling mission.
