We Care Network

Our Mission is to provide a safety net for low-income, uninsured adults most in need in our community through the coordination of donated specialty medical and dental healthcare.

History

In 1992, Capital Medical Society physicians created the We Care Network program under its charitable 501(c)(3) organization, Capital Medical Society Foundation, Inc. to create an organized, coordinated approach to provide charity care to low-income, uninsured adults in the community. In 2003, it expanded its program to include specialty dental care.

We Care Network’s team coordinates the seamless donation of specialty medical and dental services to low-income, uninsured adults, whose income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, in Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, and Wakulla Counties.

Donating Providers

Today, more than 300 volunteer specialty medical physicians and 40 dentists provide donated specialty medical care and dental care to low-income, uninsured residents of Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, and Wakulla Counties. In addition to volunteer physicians and dentists, all four hospitals and most ancillary providers in our community, including imaging services, home health care agencies, and durable medical equipment providers donate healthcare services to We Care Network patients. In addition to donated care, We Care Network also provides patient assistance by paying for medications, transportation, and durable medical equipment to ensure patients’ ability to follow through with their treatment plan.

Since its inception, the We Care Network has donated more than $140 million in medical and dental care and over $5 million in 2024-25.
