While some patients may require a return visit, we want to emphasize that we cannot treat every condition and are not set up to be your regular source of medical care. For ongoing conditions, we will refer you to other community clinics.

Shepherd’s Hope provides free, quality, short-term medical care for uninsured adults through the work of volunteers. Shepherd’s Hope operates at different locations in the Greater Orlando area that are open mainly in the evenings between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM in donated clinic space. A list of centers and their hours of operation can be found here.
Shepherd’s Hope provides acute care at each of our health center locations. All first visits are general appointments with a Volunteer Healthcare Provider. If that provider determines secondary services are required, the reach of those services is determined on a case by case basis. If necessary, we can connect with our hospital partners and will do our best to make sure the care/procedure required is received. However, we cannot guarantee that all patients requiring surgery will receive that service.
Yes! Blood work is covered for our patients through our wonderful hospital partners.
Although we provide acute care, sometimes our patients require secondary services that involve a specialist. We are very grateful to have such a wonderful team of volunteer specialists both in our clinics and a part of our Community Referral Provider Program who dedicate their time to providing free specialty care to our patients. Patients must be seen first in one of our Health Centers by a Volunteer Healthcare Provider and then given a referral to see a specialist.
Through our Rx Program, we are able to provide prescription refills, however, we do not prescribe any controlled substances.
All care provided within our health centers is free to those who are uninsured. When the care expands past our health centers, there is a possibility services may not be 100% free and could be on a sliding scale.
