Our Mission

​By the Way Free Clinic has been established for the residents of Fairfield County and our neighbors who are medically underserved and in need of free, episodic health care:
​
THOSE WHO SEEK CARE, RECEIVE CARE. 

 Listening to the concerns of the community over a decade ago served as the impetus to organize health care professionals who are like-minded people with a heart to serve those in need. By the Way is a neighborhood-based, comprehensive ministry working in our community as a free, access-entry point for medical care.
