Our History

In 1996, free clinic directors from Michigan and Illinois met to discuss how they might support each other in providing health care to the uninsured. Out of this meeting evolved the Free Clinics of the Great Lake Region (FCGLR)- a seven state network of 250 clinics.
​In 2000, Michigan Clinics organized a subset of FCGLR, the Free Clinics of Michigan (FCOM). FCOM was officially organized in 2008 and has acted as its own organization since.
In 2022 FCOM changed its name to include "charitable clinics" to better represent all member clinics.
