Why Church Partnerships?

Who We Are
NeighborHealth was founded in 2018 to assist the growing number of people in Wake County without access to healthcare. Our model provides an innovative way for people to call NeighborHealth Center their medical home since receiving care will not depend on one’s working status, lack of insurance, or a co-payment. We seek to serve the whole community, including domestic and international citizens, refugees, men, women, and children, and those with physical, mental, financial, and spiritual needs. While NeighborHealth is aligned with Christian faith principles, we’re committed to serving patients of any faith. Our practitioners strive to live out the Gospel by meeting each patient with the same grace, kindness, and acceptance Jesus has shown us.

Testimonials
When I come here, I’m at home. I’m really, very thankful, especially for my doctor. When we meet, it’s like we are just friends – we talk like we are brothers. I feel comfortable. Though I am new to America…I don’t feel out of place.
Professional, knowledgeable, and caring staff are the standard at this practice. The fact that the care is affordable is just a bonus.
