Every Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Miami-Dade operates on a sliding fee scale — a federally required pricing structure where your cost is determined by your income relative to the federal poverty level.

Some charge as little as $0 for patients with no income. Above 200% of the poverty level, costs approach standard market rates, but no one is turned away for inability to pay.

Every major FQHC in Miami-Dade provides multilingual services as a matter of operational necessity — the county’s patient population demands it. The most explicitly multilingual organizations are:
With 65 FQHC clinic locations across Miami-Dade, the fastest way to find the one nearest to you is the HRSA Health Center Finder:
Enter your zip code, select “Primary Care,” and you’ll see every federally funded health center within a specified radius — with addresses, phone numbers, hours, and services.
You can also call the Florida Department of Health at (850) 245-4444 for referrals to county health resources.
The organizations in this guide are not free clinics in the traditional sense — they are not staffed primarily by volunteers or limited to one-day events. They are federally funded, ACGME-accredited primary care institutions with employed physicians, permanent staff, and the same quality standards as any medical practice.
The difference is that they are legally required to serve all patients regardless of ability to pay, and their fees are determined by income rather than by market rate. That makes them the most reliable, consistent, and clinically complete option for uninsured and underinsured Miami-Dade residents.
Finding the right healthcare professional requires more than filling a role.
It requires identifying individuals who align with an organization’s mission, culture, and long-term goals.
All-Genz works closely with healthcare leaders to deliver candidates who are prepared to make an immediate and lasting impact.
