BTW will be open on Tuesday May 5th at 6 PM for patients who need care.

We DO NOT test for Covid-19. IF you have a fever, cough or think you could have the flu, go to the Emergency Room of the nearest hospital. We will adhere to strict CDC guidelines for seeing patients and appreciate your patience and cooperation. Our priority is to provide a SAFE environment for all. There will be minimal staff and no hospitality (food) at the clinic.

SAFETY and GOOD HEALTH are our priority.

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.
