Our History

A free clinic operated in Ely from March 2011 until June 2015 as one of four free clinics operated by the non-profit Project Care. During this time we served primarily uninsured individuals in our community two evenings per month. Because of a budget shortfall, the Project Care board voted to close the Ely free clinic in May of 2015.
​
A group of Ely volunteers felt that the need for a free clinic in Ely remained, and Ely Community Health Center was founded in 2015. Our goals are to form close alliances with existing service organizations and individuals to enhance access to a variety of health care services for our clients.
