Our Mission

Our mission is to provide free health care for residents over the age of 16 who are uninsured or under insured and have limited financial resources.

Who We Are

Kevin’s Community Center, Inc. is a nonprofit, free medical clinic founded in 2002 by Dr. and Mrs. Z. Michael Taweh of Newtown, CT, in memory of their son Kevin. The clinic instantly made health care accessible to those who had no choice but to let long-standing health issues go untreated. Since the clinic opened its’ doors, KCC has served over 1000 patient visits. In 2005, we provided more than $500,000 of free medical services.

Community Benefits

Kevin’s Community Center helps relieve the burden of the health care crisis, providing the uninsured the care they need before they have to resort to urgent care. That is why Kevin’s Community Center dedicated itself to building a healthy community right here in our own backyard.

The Need

Approximately 800 families, 3,800 adults, here in Newtown, have no health care coverage at all. More and more of our neighbors join the ranks of the uninsured. We expect the need for our services to increase. Health care costs continue to rise causing more people to be uninsured each year, as Newtown’s population has increased by an estimated 7% from 2000-2004 according to Census Bureau statistics.

Our Vision

Inspired by the need, our vision is to build an independent facility to increase our capacity to see more patients and to establish a comprehensive health care facility that will include educational programs, a library for health information, and an outreach support center to improve and enrich the lives of those most in need in our communities.

Kevin's Community Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
