🏥 Free Primary Care Clinics Coming to Dunlap, Decatur & Grandview — August 24–28

MobileMoc, a mobile health initiative based in Dunlap, is bringing free primary care clinics to three locations across the region this week, offering annual wellness exams, preventative screenings, and sick visits at no cost—no insurance required, no copay, no payment necessary. For residents in the Sequatchie Valley and surrounding communities, this is a rare opportunity to access comprehensive healthcare services without financial barriers.

✨ What You’ll Find at These Clinics

MobileMoc clinics provide a full range of primary care services, including annual wellness exams, preventative screenings, sick visits, chronic disease management, and diagnostic testing when indicated. Whether you’re seeking routine preventative care, managing an ongoing health condition, or need to address an acute concern, the clinics are designed to serve your immediate healthcare needs. 🩺 All services are completely free—there are no hidden costs, insurance requirements, or copay fees.

🗓️ When the Clinics Are Open

The free clinics run for five days, with three confirmed dates and locations:

• Monday, August 24th, 2026 — 9am–11am CT at Lewis Chapel Community Center, 4760 Henson Gap Road, Dunlap, TN 37327
• Tuesday, August 25th, 2026 — 10am–2pm ET at Meigs County Primary Care Center, 305 River Road, Decatur, TN 37322
• Thursday, August 27th, 2026 — 10am–2pm ET at Grandview Community Center, 175 Emergency Road, Grandview, TN 37337

Slots are currently open at all three locations. 📅

📍 Where to Go

The clinics are spread across three accessible community centers and healthcare facilities, making it easier for residents across the region to find a location near them. The Lewis Chapel Community Center clinic serves Dunlap and the Sequatchie Valley floor; the Meigs County Primary Care Center serves Decatur and surrounding areas; and the Grandview Community Center clinic serves residents in that community. Each location is designed to welcome walk-ins when schedule availability allows.

🎟️ How to Attend

To schedule an appointment, call 423-425-1657. Walk-ins are welcome based on availability, so if you can’t reach the clinic by phone, you can still show up during clinic hours and be seen if space permits. 📞 No advance registration is required, and you don’t need to bring insurance cards or payment information—just yourself and any medical records you’d like to share.

❤️ Why This Matters to Your Community

Access to affordable primary care is a cornerstone of community health. For uninsured residents, those between jobs, or families stretching limited healthcare budgets, these free clinics remove barriers to preventative care—the kind of care that catches problems early, reduces emergency room visits, and helps people stay healthier longer. When residents can access wellness exams and preventative screenings without cost, entire families and neighborhoods benefit from better health outcomes. 💪

MobileMoc‘s commitment to bringing these services directly to community centers in Dunlap, Decatur, and Grandview reflects an understanding that healthcare access isn’t just about having a clinic—it’s about meeting people where they are. By rotating clinics through multiple locations, the program ensures that residents across different parts of the region have a realistic chance to participate.

🤝 Community Connections

These clinics represent a partnership between healthcare providers and local community spaces. The use of Lewis Chapel Community Center, Meigs County Primary Care Center, and Grandview Community Center shows how local institutions—whether schools, county health departments, or civic centers—can work together to strengthen health access. If you know neighbors, friends, or family members who have been putting off a wellness exam or preventative screening due to cost, this week offers a genuine opportunity to address that need. 🌟

📋 What Residents Should Know

Bring any relevant medical records or a list of current medications if you have one, but don’t worry if you don’t—the clinics are equipped to help you get started. The clinics accept walk-ins when slots are available, so if you can’t schedule in advance, showing up during clinic hours is an option. For the most up-to-date information about availability and any additional clinic dates beyond August 28th, you can view the full MobileMoc calendar at utc.edu/college-of-nursing/mobilemoc/calendar. ✅

🔮 What Happens Next

This week’s clinics are part of an ongoing MobileMoc program, meaning free healthcare services may return to the region in future weeks. If you attend a clinic this week, you’ll have the opportunity to establish a relationship with healthcare providers and discuss ongoing care needs. If you miss this week, check the MobileMoc calendar for upcoming clinic dates in your area.

💭 Questions Worth Asking

As you consider whether to attend, think about these questions: Are there neighbors or family members in your life who have delayed healthcare due to cost? What would change in your own health routine if preventative care were truly free and accessible? How might your community benefit if more residents had regular access to wellness exams and chronic disease management? 🤔
