Care Ring is dedicated to providing health services for the uninsured, underinsured or those lacking access to affordable, high-quality health care. Every day we empower individuals with limited resources to establish and maintain good health through five quality programs: our Clinic, Nurse-Family Partnership, A Guided Journey, Physicians Reach Out, and our community-based mobile care unit, The Bridge. Serving more than 7,400 people annually in Mecklenburg County, Care Ring strives to be the leader in collaborative efforts to improve community health and to eliminate disparities in health care outcomes. There is no charge for clients to access any of our services. Financial Donations Requested: As our client needs and numbers grow, additional funds will enable us to respond to the need and provide care to the most vulnerable in our community. For every $50 donated, you can provide one visit for a patient in our clinic, but gifts of any size are appreciated---monthly automatic giving also available.
