Since our first clinic on October 15, 2022, the demand for our medical services has grown significantly. In the
first six months, we provided care to 51 patients. By the end of our second year, that number skyrocketed to 817
children and adults receiving essential medical services. Alongside patient care, we have also reached over 4,500
individuals through health education classes, offered at schools, churches, and through partnerships with local
organizations. This growth highlights the urgent need for accessible healthcare in the communities we serve, and we're committed to expanding our impact even further.

Uninsured, Working Poor without Health Insurance, and Households meeting the Federal Poverty Guidelines of 300% and Below. 

A significant portion of Northeast Florida’s population faces financial hardship, with many residents classified under the ALICE threshold. This includes households that meet federal poverty guidelines as well as the working poor, all struggling to make ends meet despite their hard work. 

The term “working poor” describes individuals who are employed but still live below the poverty line due to low wages, limited hours, or the high cost of living. They often earn too much to qualify for government healthcare programs but not enough to cover all the basic necessities. As a result, they are frequently forced to choose between paying for rent, food, transportation, or healthcare. This is where we come in, providing free healthcare services. Many of these individuals meet the federal poverty guidelines (guidelines on appointment page) and fall into the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) category, living paycheck to paycheck, often without savings or resources to manage unexpected expenses. The working poor represent a growing segment of our community, deserving of support and access to essential services that provide stability and a path toward a healthy future.
