Welcome to the Brooklyn Free Clinic’s Health Education
Workshop Series, where we offer the members of community FREE WORKSHOPS on

on your own to improve your health. The Brooklyn Free Clinic will be holding different
workshops and seminars throughout the year on the biggest health care issues of
NYC.
All workshops are held right at the Brooklyn Free Clinic
during regular operating hours.
Everybody is welcome and everything is free!

The Brooklyn Free Clinic Pharmacy Committee introduces the
BFC Medication Assistance Program (MAP).
Proudly sponsored by the Barman’s Fund, BFC MAP is a reimbursement
program, partnered with local pharmacies, providing essential medication at
zero cost to the patient. BFC MAP was
designed to address our patients’ rapidly growing need for medication in a
market in which the costs of pharmaceuticals continue to rise. Inspired by the generosity of a group of Brooklyn
bartenders, local pharmacies agreed to bill the Clinic the cost prices for many
of their medications, including a wide range of antibiotics. BFC MAP hopes to
expand the drugs available in the coming months.
