Neighborhood Health Clinic

What Neighborhood Health Clinic does

Neighborhood Health Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable clinic founded in 1999 in Naples, Florida, by Dr. Bill and Nancy Lascheid to deliver free, comprehensive medical care to low-income, working but uninsured adults in Collier County. The clinic operates as a single-campus patient medical home at 88 12th Street North, offering 25+ on-campus specialties including primary care, cardiology, dentistry, endocrinology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, podiatry, radiology, rheumatology, urology, and wound care. Its integrated clinical infrastructure includes an in-house diagnostic laboratory (capable of performing up to 97% of required tests on site, with results in 20 minutes or less), an on-site pharmacy distributing over 600 medications free of charge, the Candy & Bill Raveis Pathology Laboratory (opened late 2025 within a new 12,000-square-foot facility expansion), radiology and imaging services, dental and ophthalmology suites, and the Van Domelen Education and Wellness Building for patient education programs that contribute to a reported 98% medication compliance rate versus a 54% national average.

The clinic is staffed entirely by professional volunteers — physicians, dentists, nurses, and non-medical volunteers — and serves patients who qualify through income and insurance screening, with more than 12,000 patient visits annually. Revenue is generated exclusively through private philanthropy: individual donations, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, planned giving via a Legacy Society, and annual events such as the Celebration of Hope & Healing gala (which raised over $1.6M in 2026) and Neighborhood Bash. The organization accepts no government money, carries no debt, and directs 94 cents of every donated dollar to patient services, leveraging each $1 of donation into approximately $7 of delivered services through volunteer labor and in-kind pharmaceutical partnerships with Direct Relief, Americares, Dispensary of Hope, and patient assistance programs including Gilead. In-kind medication distribution exceeds $6 million in retail value annually. Strategic clinical and operational partnerships — including Naples Pathology Associates, Millennium Physician Group, Quest Diagnostics Foundation, and Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry — extend on-campus capability without adding cash cost. The organization holds Candid Platinum Transparency 2026, Charity Navigator designation, six consecutive NAFC Gold Standards (2020-2025), and multiple American Heart Association Gold recognitions.
