The Why
There are 41 million uninsured people in the United States, including people who are part of the work force but can not afford medical coverage.
Mirrored to this disheartening statistic, there are 1,400 officially registered free clinics in the country (according to the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics) that are only able to provide services to about 5 million people. Leaving 36 million Americans to flood emergency departments with a great number of easily manageable conditions.
CURA for the world is on a mission to launch a free clinic in every state. Our focus locations are the outskirts of major cities where access to the rural and semi-rural patient is easy.
CURA for the world will launch its FIRST US Free Clinic, to treat, educate and care for the uninsured in Oklahoma.
CURA’s Free Clinics will be offering services to economically disadvantaged individuals for free. Care will be provided free of cost to persons who have limited incomes, no health insurance or who do not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare.
CURA’s free clinics will offer treatment for routine illness; and long-term chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, and high cholesterol. Also CURA’s free clinics will provide a limited range of medical testing, prescription drug assistance, women's health care, and free child therapy sessions.
At the moment our first US CURA Clinic will NOT be providing pregnancy testing, Pap smears, or STD testing; these services are available at the Health Department. We will not handle emergency conditions or employment related injuries. We will NOT offer stimulants, controlled substances, or care for chronic pain patients.
NO controlled substances are prescribed or kept on site.
