NEED DISABILITY BUT CAN'T AFFORD A DOCTOR? RESOURCES

You must have medical treatment to qualify for Social Security disability. However, the cost of medical care is often prohibitive for disabled individuals who have limited income. Fortunately, there are organizations in North Alabama that can help provide care. Here are a few:

• Central Health Care Huntsville. 751 Pleasant Row. Huntsville AL 35801. 256-533-6311.

• Joe Davis Clinic. 600 St. Clair Ave 6-14. Huntsville AL 35801. 256-536-4700.

• The Community Free Clinic. 410 Silvey Road. Huntsville AL 35801. 256-533-2910,/p>

There are also clinics and providers in surrounding towns and communities, including Albertville, Boaz, Decatur, Athens, Rogersville and Florence. My office will be happy to provide you with a list of doctors and clinics that treat patients with no health insurance. Just call the office at (256) 799-0297 and request a list-- free of course.
