JaxCareConnect

What JaxCareConnect does

JaxCareConnect is a 501(c)(3) healthcare access program administered by We Care Jacksonville, Inc., founded in 2021 as a pilot and transitioned to full operation on October 1, 2023. It connects uninsured adults aged 18-64 who are Duval County, Florida residents with household incomes at or below 300% of federal poverty guidelines to a primary care medical home at no cost or on a sliding fee scale. The service is delivered through a referral network of nine partner clinics and outreach programs, including Agape Family Health, Ascension Mobile Health, Community Health Outreach, Duval Family Health Center/Sulzbacher, Emmanuel Project, MASS Clinic, Mission House, Volunteers in Medicine, and WeCareJax.

The core platform is a lightweight intake and referral system built on standard nonprofit case management tools rather than proprietary technology. Eligible patients self-refer via a multilingual (English, Spanish, Haitian Creole) online questionnaire or are referred by community organizations through a dedicated partner referral form; Intake Specialists then complete eligibility screening within 48 business hours, and Patient Health Advocates provide ongoing navigation, matching clients to primary care and to community resources for housing, food, dental care, mental health, transportation, and other social determinants of health. Supporting features include a community resource directory, a newsletter subscription, and a formal speaking engagements program for community education.

JaxCareConnect is donor-funded; services are free to patients and there are no disclosed prices, ARR, or contract values. The organization operates from a single Jacksonville headquarters (4615 Philips Highway) with a team of approximately 9-10 staff, holds a Charity Navigator 4-star rating and a Candid Seal of Transparency, and is registered as a Florida state charity. There is no evidence of venture, private equity, or external investment ownership; revenue mechanics are entirely grant- and donation-based within a single-county service area.
