BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Residents across the Capital Region will soon have access to free medical, dental, and vision care during the first Baton Rouge Free Clinic of 2025 hosted by the Love Impact Coalition.
The free one-day clinic, presented by ExxonMobil with platinum-level sponsorship from Louisiana Healthcare Connections, will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at the Raising Cane’s River Center.
Organizers say no insurance, identification, or appointment will be required for patients seeking care.
Services offered at the clinic will include:
- Eye exams and prescription glasses.
- Dental cleanings, fillings and extractions.
- Physical exams.
- STI and HIV screenings.
- Colon cancer screenings.
- Maternal health education.

This clinic is about meeting people where they are and reminding them that their health matters regardless of income, insurance, or circumstance.”…
