The Walltown Neighborhood Clinic
Providing Health Care for the Entire Family

Access to health care services is a crucial part of any community. Ensuring that each member of a neighborhood gets regular check-ups, preventive care and easy access to affordable care for chronic illnesses is an investment in the future of our community. The Walltown Neighborhood Clinic provide those key services, helping Durham residents to stay healthier, and giving youngsters and adults a dose of good medicine.

Reaching out in the community

The Walltown Neighborhood Clinic, a joint program of Lincoln Community Health Center and Duke Community Health, was designed with the help of multiple community members to meet the health needs of residents in the Walltown community. The clinic, located in a renovated house in the Walltown Neighborhood, is easily accessible to any Durham resident needing care.

These health clinics serve all members of the family, treating infants to older adults. Many families are facing difficult financial situations, and often don't have medical insurance. Some residents have chronic medical conditions that impact their lives each day. These clinics offer them a place to get the primary health care that they or their families may need, as well as access to health education.

General medical care and specialty services

The Walltown Neighborhood Clinic is staffed by a Family Physician, who serves as medical director, physician assistants, nurses, and an office manager. Patients receive services that include:

• Employment exams and sports physicals
• Preventive testing and counseling
• Well-baby check-ups
• Hearing, vision, dental, and nutrition screenings
• Appointments for acute illnesses
• Routine immunizations
• Lab testing
• General health education
• Mental health assessment
• Management of chronic health conditions

Walltown accepts insurance, including Medicaid, HealthChoice and Medicare. For those patients without insurance, fees are based on the Lincoln Community Health Center sliding scale, based on income and family size. No patient is denied care based on ability to pay.

After-hours and backup care is provided by Lincoln Community Health Center.
