Looking for support and resources following Hurricane Ian?

There are several agencies across the state offering assistance to residents who have been affected by the storm. We’ve compiled a handy list to help you access the support you need.

Medical Assistance

If you need emergency medical assistance, please call 911. If your health concern is not an emergency, please contact any one of our ClareMedica practices to book an appointment as you normally would. You’ll find a complete list of our practices here. If you are unable to leave your home and travel to a practice, we are still able to help you through a telehealth appointment using your smartphone, tablet, computer, or regular telephone.
