What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

More than 16% of Duval County residents between the ages of 19 and 64 do not have health insurance. They may work hard in one or more low-paying jobs with no health benefits. Even with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the need for better access to health care services remains. Many simply can’t afford insurance and still afford other basic items such as food, clothing, and housing. Without Medicaid expansion in Florida, these individuals often face life-threatening health issues with nowhere to turn. WeCareJax remains committed to matching patients in need with caring volunteer specialty providers and to developing innovative programs that improve health care access in our community.

Care Coordination

At WeCareJax, our dedicated care coordinators provide services to uninsured adult patients at 200% of poverty or less who are referred for specialty care from one of our partner primary care clinics. Through involved care coordination, referrals are quickly reviewed and processed, patient appointments are scheduled, proper communication takes place and enables patients to be well-informed of their treatment plans, and emotional and social needs are addressed.
