The Free Clinics was so excited to be part of Blue Ridge Community College’s Spring Fest and the Appalachia Strong A ReEntry Symposium!

Both events were filled with connection, conversation, and so many amazing people doing meaningful work in our community. We’re always grateful for opportunities to share resources, build relationships, and stand alongside others who are passionate about helping people feel seen, supported, and connected.

One thing that makes this work so powerful is lived experience. Some of the most meaningful impact comes from people who have walked through hard seasons and now use their story, strength, and understanding to help others find hope.

Thank you to everyone who made these events so special. We are thankful to be part of a community that continues to show up, work together, and make a difference every single day. 💙✨

At The Free Clinics, we are committed to meeting people where they are—any time, day or night. 💙

Our Narcan box is available 24/7 at the front entrance of The Free Clinics, ensuring that life-saving medication is always accessible to our community.

Narcan (naloxone) is a safe, easy-to-use medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life. It is available to anyone—no prescription needed—and can be used by bystanders in an emergency. Having Narcan on hand and knowing how to use it can make the difference between life and death.

In addition to Narcan, the box also includes testing strips, hygiene bags, Bibles, and emergen-c for anyone who may not have access to basic necessities.

This resource is here for anyone in need—no questions asked. Together, we can save lives, reduce stigma, and take care of our community. 💙

We want to start by giving a huge THANK YOU to the Hendersonville Rotary for hosting such a wonderful Bingo Night at Trailside Brewery! 🎉 Your support and dedication to our community mean so much to us.

Thanks to this incredible event and everyone who came out to play and support, we were able to raised over 500$ for The Free Clinics!

💙 Every dollar makes an impact—going directly toward essential services that support our neighbors in need. Because of you, we’re able to continue providing care, resources, and hope throughout our community.

We are so grateful for the continued support from our community—it truly makes all the difference. Thank you for being part of our mission!

The Free Clinics had an incredible time at the Behavioral Health Conference! 💙

From start to finish, this experience was nothing short of inspiring. We had the opportunity to connect with so many passionate professionals, learn about innovative approaches in behavioral health, and bring back valuable knowledge to better serve our community.

The sessions were informative, engaging, and filled with powerful insights around evidence-based practices, real-world experience, and forward-thinking innovation. It was amazing to be surrounded by individuals who are just as committed to making a difference in the lives of others.

We’re excited to take what we’ve learned and continue strengthening the care and support we provide every day. Thank you to everyone who made this event so impactful—we’re grateful to be part of such a dedicated and compassionate community.

A huge THANK YOU to Tater Babies for not only hosting an amazing fundraiser for The Free Clinics, but for going above and beyond by matching the funds raised.

Because of their generosity — and the incredible support from our community — even more neighbors in our area will have access to vital services and care. That kind of heart is what makes this community so special.

We are beyond thankful for local partners like Tater Babies who believe in our mission and stand beside us in making healthcare accessible to those who need it most.

Please continue to support businesses that support your community. We couldn’t do this work without you. 💙

EDUCATE: What Makes Peer Support Distinct? 💛
Peer support is different — and that’s what makes it so powerful.
Peer support isn’t about “fixing” someone.
It’s about walking beside them.
What makes peer support distinct is that it’s rooted in:
✨ lived experience
✨ mutuality and respect
✨ hope and possibility
✨ voice and choice
✨ empowerment, not pressure
✨ connection, not control
Peers help people build recovery capital through real-world support, community connection, and encouragement that feels genuine — because it is.
In service of universal access to peer-led support — this work matters. 💛

Social Determinants of Health play a HUGE role in health outcomes.

You can prescribe the medication.
You can schedule the appointment.
You can give the education.

But if someone doesn’t have:
• transportation to get there
• food that supports their condition
• safe housing
• income to afford care
• support they can trust

— their health will still suffer.

Health doesn’t start in the exam room.
It starts where people live, work, learn, and age.

Until we address the barriers outside the clinic walls, we won’t truly improve outcomes inside them.

This is why transportation, Community Health Workers, interpreters, and community partnerships matter.
This is why equity matters.
This is why Social Determinants of Health are not “extra” — they are essential.
