Do not take advantage of
each other, but fear your God.... If one of your countrymen becomes poor and is
unable to support himself among you, help him as you would an alien or a
temporary resident, so he can continue to live among you.... You must not lend
him money at interest or sell him food at a profit....(Leviticus 25) "The
Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to
the poor. -- Jesus (Luke 4)

Jubilee Community Health was established in 1999 as a Christian outreach
to provide medical care at a modest cost which people on limited incomes
can afford to pay. Jubilee Community Health is a community-based non-profit
organization, relying on the resources of the local community. We keep
our costs low by using volunteer staffing, using a low-cost facility, eliminating
expensive billing systems, and avoiding high-cost technologies where possible.
Our services include: Full Family Practice services, both care for illnesses
and preventive care. Emphasis on use of low-cost medicines when these are
effective. Higher-cost medications are provided free or at reduced cost,
through special programs available from pharmaceutical companies. Free
health screening exams and Pap smears for women 50 and over, through the
Indiana Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention program. Low-cost lab services,
in cooperation with Bloomington Hospital of Orange County. Basic X-rays
on-site, for $30. More complex X-rays and other major imaging studies are
