Our mission is to provide free basic primary
health care to the uninsured. We deliver that health care through
operation of a mobile care vehicle that have a fixed schedule at various
locations in the City of Hartford. Coupled with coordinated communication
efforts at the parishes/churches, schools and homeless shelters, assures
community outreach and ready access to those most in need.
• A small clinic staff supported by a cadre of medical volunteers provide
administrative support for the free clinic.
• Volunteers are drawn from the active and retired staff of
Saint Francis Medical Center, Hartford Hospital, UCONN Health Care
Center, other health care facilities and health professionals in
the area.
• The care offered is strictly primary care, with appropriate
emphasis on untreated conditions such as hypertension, diabetes
and other conditions acknowledged as prevalent in this area.
• Routine medications, donated and low cost purchases, are
provided free of charge to patients.
• Patients requiring tertiary care and emergency care will
be referred to other facilities and physicians.
The
Malta House of Care follows the snow closing schedule of the Hartford
School System. If the Hartford schools are closed because of snow,
so is the Malta House of Care mobile clinic. Thank you for your
understanding.
