Free health clinic aims to expand care access on city's West Side

June 27, 2026 - 21:36

A free health clinic this weekend aims to make medical services more accessible for residents on San Antonio's West Side. The Health Collaborative's Neighborhood Clinic will open its doors Saturday, offering a range of preventive care options at no cost.

Attendees can receive 3D mammograms, which are considered more effective at detecting breast cancer in dense tissue. The clinic will also provide general health screenings, vaccines, dental checkups, and assistance with connecting to long-term care providers. In addition to medical services, organizers plan to distribute food to those who attend.

The event targets a part of the city where access to regular healthcare can be limited. By bringing services directly into the neighborhood, the clinic aims to catch potential health issues early and reduce the number of emergency room visits for conditions that could have been managed with routine care. Organizers encourage anyone without insurance or with limited access to a primary care doctor to take advantage of the free services. No appointment is necessary, and all services are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
