Providing care in Lansing to those who would otherwise go without.
As a donor, you have the satisfaction of knowing you have improved, and occasionally saved, someone’s life. Your contribution helps address the local health care access problem
“Thousands of people in our community do not have access to affordable health care — many of them are working but cannot reach their full potential due to untreated illnesses. Others are too sick to obtain and maintain employment. Care Free serves as a powerful economic development engine in our region. By improving the health and wellness of the workforce, we empower people to support themselves and their families to the best of their abilities.”
— Farhan Bhatti, M.D., CEO of Care Free Medical
Care Free Medical hosts its 3rd Annual Charity Golf Outing on Friday, September 7th, 2018. Registration begins at 9am with a shot gun start at 10am. Get signed up today to reserve your spot.
To participate in this year’s golf outing, sponsorships, or for more information contact Emma Helvey at emmaehelvey@gmail.com
Last year with the help of sponsors and participants, the Care Free Golf Outing was able to raise over $15,000. It is because of events like this that Care Free Medical can continue to provide health care services to the underinsured and uninsured members of our community.
We look forward to having fun and continuing to raise money to support our clinic at this year’s outing!

Many businesses are committed to helping support their community. These businesses are sensitive to the community needs and fund non-profit organizations, whose mission they support, to help that organization fulfill their goals.
We have developed many relationships in the past and are currently developing many more business sponsorships and/or partnerships. These affiliations will assist with providing needed care. Supporting an organization that provides services to those in need will foster the true sense of community involvement for your business. We would love to have your business become involved in this venture.
