Patients – WeCareJax

Connecting patients to providers

WeCareJax helps people who do not have health insurance, cannot afford health insurance and need specialty medical care. We have more than 500 specialty physicians who donate their services to patients enrolled in WeCareJax.

WeCareJax is a free short-term healthcare program for low-income residents who live in Duval County and need specialty medical care. It is not a health insurance plan and is not a good substitute for health insurance coverage. All health care services received through WeCareJax are donated through an extensive network of physicians, clinics, laboratories, and hospitals in Duval County.

WeCareJax services start when our office receives a referral from your primary healthcare provider. Once the referral is received by our office, one of our care coordinators will work with our network of volunteer specialists and hospital partners to schedule the requested appointment.
