The MEMPHIS Plan is the Church Health Center’s employer-sponsored healthcare plan for small businesses and the self-employed. However, it is not health insurance. By relying on donated services from volunteer doctors, area hospitals and laboratories, the MEMPHIS Plan offers uninsured people in lower-wage jobs access to quality, affordable healthcare. This includes primary and specialty care, hospitalization and other medical services.
The MEMPHIS Plan provides healthcare for uninsured working people who fall through the cracks of the current healthcare system because they earn too much to qualify for state or federal programs. It also answers the need of small business owners who care about their employees but cannot afford to provide traditional health insurance. With the MEMPHIS Plan, employers can now provide an essential benefit while enhancing job productivity and retaining valued employees.
Due to space and staffing limitations, the Church Health Center Clinic can serve only a portion of the growing number of working uninsured people in Memphis. Because MEMPHIS Plan volunteer doctors see patients in their own offices, the Church Health Center is able to expand our ability to serve those in need.
