These clinics have endured, & thanks to early support from the Health Foundation, they are prepared to prevail for decades to come.

Good Health Clinic began in the Florida Keys in 2004. What started as a two-day-a-week care model is now a five-day-a-week health home for hundreds of residents who would otherwise lack access to primary care and preventive services. Two decades later, it has grown into the region’s medical home for more than 500 low-income patients each year, delivering comprehensive primary care.

Open Door Health Center, founded in 2001, remains one of the free clinics supported by a diversified mix of philanthropic funding and partnerships, including Baptist Health South Florida, the Health Foundation, donors, and volunteer-driven contributions. The clinic provides free primary care and preventive services in a teaching environment. Last year, Open Door served approximately 1,750 unduplicated patients, offering vital care to those who would otherwise go without.

Chapman Partnership, launched in 1993, addresses both homelessness and health issues. With two Homeless Assistance Centers, it serves approximately 4,000 people annually, offering shelter and comprehensive medical, dental, and psychiatric care. More than 105,000 intakes have been recorded since its founding, with twothirds of residents successfully transitioning into housing.

The Health Foundation has invested more than $6 million to strengthen these clinics, supporting their growth, stability, and sustainability. They stand today as proof that health equity is not an idea but something we can build through years of dedication.
