About Healthcare Network
Healthcare Network is a Federally Qualified Health Center serving Collier County, Florida. We provide patient-centered medical and dental services to all age groups, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. We offer the highest level of coordinated care across the spectrum from medical or dental visits, to integrated behavioral health care and on-site lab, pharmacy, and radiology services.
Through partnership with Volunteer Florida, AmeriCorps, and Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Healthcare Network has received a grant to expand care services through concentrated outreach efforts of AmeriCorps members. As an AmeriCorps member, you fuel the engine for change by joining the army of difference-makers who positively impact lives across Collier County.
About Volunteer Florida/AmeriCorps Program
Volunteer Florida administers the AmeriCorps program across the state. AmeriCorps is a national service program that provides opportunities for individuals to serve their communities in many different capacities. In exchange for a living stipend, educational award and valuable on-the-job experience, members work in nonprofit organizations, educational foundations, and government agencies for one year, helping improve the health of our community, one patient at a time.
AmeriCorps members are selected and managed by their host organization and spend a year addressing issues critical to the organization's mission. Healthcare Network's grant specifically targets the areas of Immokalee and Golden Gate City in Collier County, which are historically underserved communities. This grant will ensure that access to health and dental care is given to those who need it most with emphasis on ensuring that they receive the care they need in the most comfortable fashion possible.
