About us
MyClinic is an independent, not for profit, FREE clinic. We provide Primary Adult and Pediatric Medical Care, Behavioral Health Counseling and Specialty Care to uninsured families with limited financial resources residing mainly in the northern Palm Beach County area.
MyClinic also offers a referral program for patients who are in need of urgent dental services. MyClinic’s Dental Referral Program consists of a network of dentists in our community who will treat registered MyClinic patients at no charge as part of the Volunteer Healthcare Provider Program (VHPP). Jupiter Medical Center provides Lab and Imaging Services including screening Mammograms and Diabetes Education services to patients at no charge as well as administrative and other technical support.
MyClinic’s medical services are provided by licensed volunteer health providers. Patients are scheduled by appointment and referrals are made to specialists as available. The goal of MyClinic is to be a true Medical Home that improves overall health and quality of life for its patients.
Mission & Vision
MyClinic exists so that uninsured residents with limited financial resources have access to high quality health services through a well-coordinated system of care.
MyClinic envisions being a facilitator in a process that results in a community that excels in planning and delivering health care to vulnerable populations, resulting in improved health, satisfied patients and providers, and efficient use of the community’s health care resources.
History & Milestones
The current MyClinic represents the third phase in a process that began in January 2012 when a group of stakeholders came together to form a coalition to address the health needs of our most vulnerable neighbors. The coalition was comprised of representatives from the public and private sectors including: El Sol, Jupiter’s Neighborhood Resource Center; Jupiter Medical Center; Town of Jupiter; Florida Health-Palm Beach County; and guidance from the Florida Public Health Institute.
- Phase 1: A free clinic is born (January 2012 - December 2013)
- Phase 2: A Temporary Solution (January 2014- December 2016)
- Phase 3: A Permanent Home (Dec 2016- present)
“Jupiter Volunteer Clinic (JVC)” was the result of collaboration among Palm Beach County Health Department, Jupiter Medical Center, El Sol-Jupiter’s Neighborhood Resource Center, Town of Jupiter, with guidance from Florida Public Health Institute.
The JVC operated on Saturday mornings within the Health Department’s Jupiter Auxiliary Health Center. With a total of 20 active volunteers, JVC provided primary medical care to 380 patients for a total of 877 visits in almost 2 years.
In January 2014, MyClinic formally began operations as an independent, not for profit FREE CLINIC located in a temporary modular building. Thanks to start-up funds provided by Allegany Franciscan Ministries, Palm Health Foundation and Quantum Foundation and ongoing support from Jupiter Medical Center (including free lab and imaging services and administrative support), MyClinic became a true MEDICAL HOME to 1740 registered patients in need.
With the addition of several volunteer specialists and referral services, MyClinic quickly outgrew this space. By the end of 2016, 56 active volunteers helped to provide 3378 annual visits.
In December 2016, MyClinic purchased a 5000 sf medical office building to accommodate future growth and create a unique access point with the first of its kind co-location of a Free Clinic and a Federally Qualified Health Center (CL Brumback Primary Care Clinic operated by the Health Care District of Palm Beach County).
With over 170 volunteers and services ranging from primary and specialty medical care, behavioral health counseling, diabetes education, care coordination, medication counseling, referrals for free lab and imaging services and urgent dental care, MyClinic has become an invaluable health safety net for 2526 people in need (7122 annual visits in 2018). The value of donated services in 2018 was estimated at $768,460.
