NeighborHealth Center
Serving Christ by loving our neighbors through excellent, compassionate and accessible healthcare. NeighborHealth Center is a nonprofit, faith-based community health center providing affordable and quality primary care to all. NeighborHealth serves the uninsured and underserved, as well as those with health insurance coverage (Medicaid, Medicare and private health insurance). NeighborHealth Center opened in west central Raleigh in June 2018 to address the growing number of people in Wake County without access to health care. Primary care services includes women’s health and prenatal care to the underserved in our community. Less than 4% of the low-income population in our service area were being served by a health center. In our first year in operation, we saw more than 2,000 patients with approximately 70% of those patients being uninsured. This represented a coverage gap for people in the community that have low incomes but do not qualify for Medicaid. Our mission is to provide healthcare to all in a caring and compassionate environment. We also welcome those with private insurance.
