We Care Foundation of Indian River

The We Care program, founded in 1991, provides free medical services for uninsured, low-income Indian River County residents 18 years and older. Our network of compassionate partner physicians makes this possible. Care areas include cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, acupuncture, neurology, otolaryngology, podiatry, ophthalmology, and additional care areas if needed.

With our unwavering commitment to improving the health of our residents, forming community collaborations, and advancing the We Care mission, we are the organization that provides healthcare services to medically indigent residents in our community.

Vital services offered by physicians who volunteer their time and services are valued at close to $1 million annually; however, other medical needs such as short-term prescription assistance, transportation for medical appointments, cataract lenses, CPAP machines, medical supplies, and more are needed for patients who otherwise could not afford them.

The We Care Foundation of Indian River, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was formed in 2011 to help fund these needs. The Foundation’s mission is to improve continuity of care for patients in need, and the We Care Mission is advanced with our Community’s donations and support.

    “I thank God for We Care. I will help in any way I can to support it because many, like my son, don’t have insurance. P.S. I don’t know who came up with the We Care Program, but Thank You!”

    “Dr. Saver saved my life at least two times in twenty-two years. Dr. Hendley takes great care of my heart and Leigh Anne (Coordinator) has become a friend; always available when I have a question or a problem. It has been the best health care in my life.”
