Friends in Need Health Center

FRIENDS IN NEED provides on-site primary care and dental care as well as referrals to other volunteer physicians and professionals for specialized care. They serve the working uninsured in Sullivan and Hawkins counties in Tennessee and Scott County, Virginia. These include working single-parent families; people who are working but do not have the income to purchase insurance, those who have jobs that don't provide insurance (part time and full) and people who are becoming independent from government-assistance programs. Friends In Need continually strives to offer the best on-site primary and dental care to those in their area who need it most. This work could not be done without the generosity of their volunteers and  donors throughout their community. Even with the outstanding support of their medical and dental volunteers, the cost of healthcare for their patients is continuing to increase. Their average per patient cost in 2011 is $149. You can help insure that Friends In Need will continue to provide the quality healthcare for the working uninsured in their region. Please consider donating to this great organization.
