St. Peter Community Free Clinic
The St. Peter Community Free Clinic is a free clinic serving people from the St. Peter area who are uninsured or who live at less than 250% of the Federal Poverty level and cannot afford healthcare premiums.
The mission of the St. Peter Community Free Clinic is to improve overall health of the St. Peter area by providing basic primary healthcare, mental healthcare, and general health education to the people we serve.
The St. Peter Community Free Clinic opened on May 16, 2019, after study and engagement with community partners including the St. Peter Area Food Shelf. We collaborate with the Mayo Clinic Mankato Family Medicine Residency Program to provide resident physician staffing in addition to volunteer physicians.
