When the gray death pandemic arrived in New York City, the free clinic was put under considerable stress from the locals, since it lacks the ability to cure the disease. According to one of its doctors, J. Allred, the clinic is unable to help patients with the Gray Death, but can only give them fluids to keep them hydrated until they crash-out. 
Although certain locals expect the clinic to provide free services,Bum arguing with the doctor in the examining area: "This is supposed to be a free clinic. Bet you'd do something if I had more money." the clinic does require payment for certain services,Dialogue with a nurse: "Please understand that the free clinic must charge for certain services to cover basic expenses." such as access to medbots in the surgery bay. By the time JC Denton arrives in Hell's Kitchen as part of his UNATCO assignment, many locals have taken refugee in the clinic not only due to the Gray Death, but also to take refugee from the fighting between UNATCO and the NSF.UNATCO trooper (near the 'Ton Hotel) to JC Denton: "We sent some of the civilians into the clinic."
