Neighborhood Health Care

Neighborhood Health Care, Inc. is a network of community health centers committed to delivering high-quality, affordable primary, preventive, and supplemental healthcare. Since 1980, NHC has been serving families on the west side of Cleveland. In calendar year 2024, NHC provided care to 21,853 patients of all ages, resulting in approximately 81,092 visits across medical, behavioral health, midwifery, and dental services. About 81% of NHC's patients live between 0% and 200% of the federal poverty level, are uninsured or on Medicaid, and face socioeconomic challenges due to low income and limited health coverage. Among NHC's patient population, 24% are Hispanic/Latinx, 20% are black, and 13% are Asian, reflecting the diversity of the communities served across seven community health centers: ridge, ann b. Reisch man, tremont, Detroit shoreway, puritas, w. 117th, and north coast, spanning twelve neighborhoods on the west side of Cleveland. NHC serves as a medical home, where a physician-led care team collaborates closely with each patient to achieve positive health outcomes. This strong patient-care team relationship encourages patients to seek regular care, follow through with primary caregiver recommendations, and prioritize their health leading to improved health status, reduced unnecessary emergency room visits, and better-quality outcomes. NHC's care teams focus on preventive care, chronic disease management, mental health, and substance abuse treatment, and also offer women's health, midwifery, refugee care, dental, and pharmacy services. NHC is accredited by the Joint Commission and recognized for high-quality outcomes, especially in chronic disease management. The north coast health foundation (NCHF), was established in 2019, is a supporting organization of NHC. The purpose of the NCHF is to increase awareness of NHC services and to foster philanthropic support from individuals and corporations to support NHC operations and capital needs.
