The Tracy Free clinic was founded by Dr. Michael Hurst (D.O.), Dr. Khosrov Vkhsouri (M.D) and Mr. Kenneth Everett (MSW) in October 2008.  Patients are treated two Saturdays per month in a space currently provided by Tracy Interfaith Ministries. 

Our mission is to offer quality, free healthcare to those in need including the un-insured, under-insured and the displaced. To educate individuals about their health and empower them to take control of it by providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge about available resources.  We view each individual’s health as encompassing their physical, emotional, and social needs. We strive to provide for such needs with professionalism, dignity and respect.

One of our objectives is to facilitate dialogue and relationships among the existing charitable and non-profit organizations as well as the current social services in our city.  We are able to direct individuals to existing social service agencies that exist in our community.
We visualize Tracy Free Clinic as a bridge for those in transition until they obtain insurance.

If you have insurance, please see your physician for care. The Tracy Free Clinic does not provide care to those who have medical insurance.
