Since 2010, HANDS Clinic has been St. Lucie County’s free clinic for uninsured adults — community-supported and entirely volunteer-driven. There’s a place here for you.
When HANDS Clinic opened its doors in 2010, the math was simple. Thousands of working-age adults in our county were going without basic healthcare, and no one was coming to fix it. So a handful of neighbors decided to do it themselves.
Sixteen years later, the work still runs the same way. Every appointment, every prescription, every routine cleaning that prevents a real problem down the road traces back to a person. A doctor on Tuesday morning. A receptionist who knew the right form. A neighbor who refused to look the other way.
The math, plainly
“$14 of care delivered for every $1 donated.”
Donate clinical hours, hands at the front desk, or your fundraising network. HANDS Clinic is powered entirely by people who show up.
We can’t do it alone. Hospitals, faith communities, businesses, and civic groups make free care possible in St. Lucie County.
Whether you have a license, an afternoon, or a network for raising funds — we have a place for you.
