We are a Free Health Care Clinic
Milan Puskar Health Right (MPHR) is a free health care clinic for residents of West Virginia who are low-income uninsured or underinsured. Milan Puskar Health Right also accepts MEDICAID. Patients are eligible up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level.
Milan Puskar Health Right was founded in 1984 by a group of concerned citizens on the premise that:
“Every person has a right to health care regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.”
Milan Puskar Health Right believes in the dignity and worth of all people. Basic non-judgmental health care is a right, not a privilege. MPHR provides compassionate care that starts with the expressed needs of the patient. MPHR advocates for patients individually and collectively at the local, state and national level to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Marilyn is dependable, excellent with our participants and understand the importance of teaching safety and harm reduction to people who are using drugs.

Care without judgment and starting with the expressed needs of the clients.
