Welcome to the Caridad Center website!

We operate free medical and dental clinics that provide vital health services to the uninsured, working poor families of Palm Beach County, Florida.  In fiscal year 2010-2011, we had more than  25,000 patient visits.

The medical services at Caridad Center save millions of dollars in uncompensated hospital care for the taxpayers of Palm Beach County by reducing the number of patients who use emergency room services because they have nowhere else to go.

Our staff of 17 full-time and 26 part-time employees work to support the efforts of 300+ dedicated volunteers, including doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, clinic assistants and administrative help.

Through our outreach and education programs, Caridad Center offers homework assistance, college scholarships, holiday programs and emergency services for patients in financial crisis.

Our mission is to upgrade the health, education and living standards of underserved children and families
