Improving the Health of Indian River County Residents
The “We Care” program, founded in 1991, provides free medical services for uninsured, low-income Indian River County residents 18 years and older. Our network of dedicated volunteer physicians, including cardiologists, gastroenterologists, urologists, oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, and other health care professionals, makes this possible.
With our unwavering commitment to improving the health of our residents, forming community collaborations, and advancing the “We Care” mission, we are the organization for providing healthcare services to medically indigent residents in our Community.
Vital services offered by physicians who volunteer their time and services are valued at more than $1 million annually; however, other medical needs such as short-term prescription assistance, transportation for medical appointments, cataract lenses, medical supplies, and more are needed for patients who otherwise could not afford them. The We Care Foundation of Indian River, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was formed in 2011 to help fund these needs. The Foundation’s mission is to improve continuity of care for patients in need, and the “We Care” Mission is advanced with our Community’s donations and support.
The We Care program office is located at 787 37th Street, Suite 140, in the TCCH offices. If you would like more information about our services or to make an appointment to determine eligibility, please get in touch with Angela Locasio-Kwong, Patient Advocate, at 772-257-3146 or email alocascio-kwong@tcchinc.org, as she handles all We Care referrals.
