Barrier Islands Free Medical Clinic (BIFMC), a free clinic in Charleston county located at 3226 Maybank Highway on Johns Island, currently offers free health care services to uninsured adults who reside or work on Johns, James, or Wadmalaw Islands; Folly Beach; or who serve downtown Charleston's hospitality industry. As of November 1st, 2022, BIFMC has extended their service area to include any uninsured adult who lives or works in Meggett, Ravenel, Hollywood, and Walterboro, in accordance with existing eligibility criteria.
In addition, BIFMC will expand the Hospitality Inclusion Project (HIP) Initiative, currently inclusive of hospitality workers on the Charleston peninsula, Folly Beach, and Barrier Islands, to also include all eligible uninsured hospitality workers in West Ashley, Meggett, Ravenel, Hollywood and Walterboro. The HIP Initiative aims to expand patient eligibility and provide free healthcare, specialty referrals, and low/no cost prescription services to all uninsured hospitality workers (Hotel, Bar, Tourism and Restaurant), ages 18-65 who do not have health insurance.
