How to Become

a Patient

Open Door Health Center serves uninsured poor individuals in South Dade.

To become a patient, the interested individuals must:
  1. Complete an application obtained at the Open Door Health Center or download here.

  2. Follow the instructions on the application completely. This includes meeting with a representative from the Human Services Coalition, Clinic Health Navigator or Registration Specialist located on site who may assist the individuals in applying for other services they may qualify for.

  3. Show proof of income.  This is required because we follow the Federal Poverty Guidelines for eligibility.
The clinic follows these procedures:
  1. We do not discriminate based on race, age, sex, or religion; but will only see individuals or families who have no health insurance whatsoever and are below 200% of the national poverty level.

  2. Our services are offered on a temporary basis until the individual(s) or families can obtain other services or can afford private health insurance.

  3. We review eligibility criteria every year minimum.
