I recently heard about this great website: Coalition of Community Health Clinics. From the website -

The Coalition is a network of thirteen private, non-profit health clinics located throughout Multnomah County. These clinics provide health services to the uninsured and under-served men, women and children in the Portland Metropolitan area. In fiscal year 2005-2006, Coalition clinics provided over 181,000 patient visits to people who had no other access to medical care.
The main website includes information about health fairs, flu shots, prescription assistance, and Safety Net information...and much more. This is definitely one for the list of sites to explore further!

But the real jewel of this site is the interactive form – It couldn't be simpler: you (or your client) answer a few questions, push the button and up pops a list of all the resources available for that specific client’s issue. Now when I am meeting with a client and a health issue comes up, I can get an up-to-date list of the options especially for him. With the frequency of services being changed or discontinued, this will make it much easier to have accurate information a few clicks away.
