The Cape Girardeau County Rural Health Clinic is a Medicare Certified Rural Health Clinic (RHC). Our RHC is intended to increase access to primary care services for patients in rural communities designated as an underserved, shortage area.
Open 5 Days/Week
The RHC is open five days a week during the Cape Girardeau County Public Health Center's regular business hours. It provides women's reproductive healthcare, HIV/AIDS care, Hepatitis C testing/care and PrEP Care.
We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and some private insurance. Fees may apply for those who do not have Medicaid or Medicare. We ask that you please come prepared with your Medicaid, Medicare, or insurance cards; as well as your social security number and record of immunizations (if available). For pediatric primary care, a parent or guardian must sign consent forms and should accompany children on all visits.
Women's Reproductive Care
Our Well-Women's Care consists of annual visits with pelvic exam, cancer screenings, testing for sexually transmitted infections and discussions about birth control, vaccinations, menstrual cycle concerns, and preconception counseling.
PrEP Care
Now available for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention, the RHC enhanced their specialty services with a PrEP (preexposure prophylaxis) program. PrEP is medicine taken that reduces your chances of getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. For details about PrEP and its effectiveness, visit PrEP HIV Basics (CDC).
When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV. We can help patients with PrEP initiation, and continued treatment management.
