H.O.P.E Team

Our HOPE (Homeless Outreach Partnership Effort) Team works where their clients live…on the streets and in the woods. Through their outreach, they are connecting people who live in the woods of Central Florida with the many health services we can provide at the Orange Blossom Family Health Center. The Team includes two outreach specialists and a Registered Nurse
Primary and Preventive Medical Care

Primary medical care is provided by a team of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, medical assistants, and student interns. Our goal is to create a "medical home" for our patients in an effort to prevent the inappropriate use of hospital emergency rooms

Health Care Center for the Homeless ® “One Community, One Health Center” Our Mission "to provide quality health care services that improve the lives of the homeless and medically indigent people of our community."

The Health Care Center for the Homeless (HCCH) is a 501(c)(3) non-

profit organization committed to providing the health care needs of the

homeless and uninsured residents of our community in an atmosphere of

dignity and respect. Founded in 1993 by Dr. Rick Baxley, we began as an

evening medical clinic at a local homeless shelter in Orlando, Florida.

Over the years, we have grown to address multiple areas in health care,

centralized within our own clinic building, the Orange Blossom Family

Health Center. Our Health Center is located just a few blocks west of

downtown Orlando and we currently serve the homeless population of

Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties with the goal of returning our

patients to lives of self-sufficiency. We also serve the housed but

uninsured or underinsured residents of Orange County in an effort to

prevent the financial devastation that can result from catastrophic health

care costs. Our programs include primary medical care, oral health

services, behavioral health and substance abuse counseling, an on-site

pharmacy, vision services, a residential TB shelter, mobile health

services, and an aggressive street outreach program - the HOPE Team.

Our Mission

"to provide quality health care services that improve the

differences as bonds, not barriers, and believe that quality
