One thing that sets Neighborhood HealthSource apart is that we don’t only treat patients inside the four walls of our clinics. We bring education, resources, and services out into our wider community. Our team of dedicated community health educators brings events and programs to the communities we serve. They also connect community members with our clinics.

Mammograms & Breast Health
Mammograms are x-rays that screen for breast cancer early, in its most treatable stages. For women over age 40, annual mammograms are important to staying healthy and cancer-free. We partner with the Minnesota Department of Health Sage Screening Program and Park Nicollet’s Mammo-A-Go-Go mobile mammography unit to host mammogram events at our clinics. The third Tuesday of every month, women can access free or low-cost mammograms. They can also learn about cancer prevention and breast health, ask questions, and enjoy food and beverages. To schedule a mammogram or learn more about our events, contact community health educator Ethel Livingstone at (612) 287-2433.
Women should be tested for cervical cancer and the common virus that can lead to it (Human Papillomavirus, or HPV) starting at age 21. For those without insurance, we partner with MDH Sage Screening Programs to offer free cervical exams and Pap smears. HPV vaccinations are available for adolescent and adult patients. Contact community health educator Tatiyanna Morrow at (612) 490-2767 to learn more or make an appointment.
Did you know that the most common symptom of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is no symptom at all? For people who have sex, it’s important to get tested regularly, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or age. Keeping you and your partner(s) safe is as easy as stopping by the clinic. We provide free or low-cost STI testing at all our clinics and at events in the community. We screen for common STIs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. Our community health educators offer confidential, one-on-one conversations with patients about sex, birth control, and STIs. Free condoms are always available in our clinics. Teen visits are always confidential. Contact community health educators Jeremi Thomas at (612) 287-2423 or Desmond Grady at (763) 999-6833 to learn more or make an appointment.
No appointment? No problem. We host weekly STI testing walk-in hours at two of our clinics:
Tuesday, Thursdays & Fridays, 1-4 PM at Fremont Clinic (3300 Fremont Ave N, Minneapolis)
Wednesdays, 1-4 PM at Central Clinic (2301 Central Ave, Minneapolis)
Reproductive Health
We have reproductive health services available for everyone. Our providers and community health educators can help you learn about reproductive health and decide which birth control method is right for you. They can also offer referrals to reproductive health resources in your community, and provide ongoing follow-up care. One-on-one sexual health counseling is available at all four of our clinics.
We offer counseling, resources, and support for all pregnancy options. Teen visits are always private and confidential. Contact community health educators Elika Clara-Rodriguez at (612) 287-2453 or Tatiyanna Morrow at (612) 490-2767 to learn more or make an appointment.
The community health team presents information about clinical services, insurance, cancer screening, chronic disease management, and sexual health at locations throughout the metro area. We provide STI screening, blood pressure checks, appointment scheduling, and sexual health presentations at schools, community centers, places of worship, businesses, and social services organizations.

Neighborhood HealthSource provides a full range of primary medical and behavioral healthcare services at four clinics in Minneapolis and the north metro. We work hard to make sure everyone in our communities can access the care they need.
We are committed to treating all patients, with and without health insurance, and believe that cost should never be a barrier to care.
Payment Options
Providing care that our patients can afford is vital to our mission. We have an income-based sliding fee program for patients with and without insurance.
