I'm 23 years old and I live with my boyfriend in a new city. I don't have health insurance or anything. Can I go to a Health Clinic and get my annual Gynecologist visit for free?
Or better yet, is there anywhere I can go to get it for free? If it matters, I live in Oregon.

You can try going to the city hospital and asking where the nearest free health or women's clinic is located. If you are a student, colleges and universities offer affordable services regardless of whether or not you have insurance.
It would be helpful if I knew which city you live in...but you could google, "free women's clinic + (city you are in or near)," and you'll get lots of information.
Also, try checking if there is a YMCA around you to call or visit, they'll definitely have information on free health or women's clinics.
Wherever you end up going, make sure you are examined by at least a registered nurse, and see if you can also get a yearly breast exam. Good luck! [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
