PATIENT INFO
Tithing Program
Please note, we do not process tithing applications by phone. Please read this page carefully for all information you will need to proceed.
The goal of Docere Clinics is to offer regenerative cell therapy for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain that is affordable to most. The goal of the Docere Clinics Tithing Program is to offer regenerative cell therapy for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain that is available to all.
Docere Clinics offers treatment on a “tithing” model (regenerative cell therapy at no monetary charge for the medically underserved) approximately one day per month.
Services will be performed on patients who are combat service veterans of U.S. Military Forces and able to demonstrate financial need.
Please note, in the past we additionally offered the tithing program to non-military in exchange for community service hours, but we found that almost everyone we enrolled were abusive to us and to our system, so we have discontinued offering to non-military. Sad, but true.
