WHO WE ARE

FoundCare originated as the Comprehensive AIDS Program (CAP) of Palm Beach County, Inc. in 1985. Recognizing the unmet need for access to health care among many Palm Beach County residents, the Board of Directors decided to expand services and launch FoundCare, Inc. as a community health center.

Since 1985, the organization has remained committed to fulfilling unmet health care and social service needs and has grown to 7 sites throughout Palm Beach County.

OUR MISSION

To provide quality healthcare and social services for all individuals and families.

OUR GOAL

Our goal as a community health center is to provide comprehensive quality health care to our patients so that they have the opportunity to thrive and reach their full health potential.

OUR APPROACH

At FoundCare, we take a holistic approach to health by providing a one-stop shop for healthcare services at our Palm Springs location. These services include pediatric and adult primary care, chronic disease management, behavioral health services, dentistry, laboratory services, X-rays, women’s health services (including screening mammography), and an on-site pharmacy.

Our providers use a variety of treatment techniques to help our patients take responsibility for their own well-being in order to achieve optimal health.

OUR VALUES

Equality- Every patient at FoundCare receives the same high-quality standard of care regardless of their age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, citizenship, ancestry, veterans’ status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, handicap, disability, familial status, or other protected status.

In addition, FoundCare is an equal opportunity employer.

Integrity- At FoundCare, we believe that your ability to receive quality healthcare services should not be based on your ability to pay for them. We accept most insurance plans and offer a sliding fee scale based on family size and income for those who are not covered by insurance. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

Diversity- FoundCare celebrates diversity! Our culturally competent staff is fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Creole to make our services inclusive for everyone.

Community-  FoundCare has grown exponentially throughout the year's thanks to the support of our community, our staff, and the many individuals that believe in FoundCare and our mission. We acknowledge our vital role in our community as well as the vital role our community plays in our continued growth and success.

Excellence and Quality-  We are committed to quality and to adding value in every aspect of our work and we strive to exceed the expectations of our patients.

"FoundCare saved my life. I used to be a teacher. But then I found myself struggling with neurological and mental health conditions. I was hospitalized multiple times, and eventually lost my job and my health insurance. I had reached the point where I was considering ending my life, but then I discovered FoundCare. I called and was able to be seen the same day. The doctor I saw at FoundCare scheduled appointments for me with four different specialists to address and treat my issues. My physical and mental health began to turn around, and after a few months of treatment, I felt like I had a life worth saving."

"I don’t have a job and for a long time I didn’t have a place to live. I would stay with friends when I could, but I didn’t have anywhere permanent while I was waiting for my benefits to be approved. With almost no income, I also had no way to see a doctor or afford the medications I need to manage my health issues. One day a friend told me about FoundCare. Because of my income I qualified for the minimum payment for my medical visits, and I was able to have them deferred until I could afford them. Some of my medications need to be refrigerated, and FoundCare held them for me on site so I could access them when I needed to. This was important for my physical health, but also for my peace of mind because I didn’t have to worry about having an address to ship them to or how to keep them cold when they arrived."

"I have a very limited income and no health insurance. I also have diabetes, but I couldn’t afford the medications I need to stay healthy, so I ended up in the hospital a lot. The last time I was in the hospital, the doctor told me about FoundCare. When I came to FoundCare I was able to see a doctor the next day, and I could afford it because of FoundCare’s sliding fee scale. When the doctor prescribed medications for my diabetes, I was able to fill them at FoundCare’s on-site pharmacy for much less than it would have cost me at a standard pharmacy. Thanks to FoundCare, my diabetes is under control and my health is much better."

“The amazing concept of "One-Stop-Shopping" for all your medical needs provided by very professional and caring individuals accomplished right here in West Palm Beach, Florida is absolutely angel blessed.  FoundCare has elevated the term "Health Care". I have witnessed great empathy and understanding in this facility that I have never witnessed anywhere else in my entire life. Just go try it and judge for yourself. Share the love that is giving.”

“The staff at Foundcare, so far, have been stellar! They seem to be very hardworking and extremely compassionate people. To date I have been very pleased with their assistance in dealing with the many hurdles I have to get over. What's more, when you inform them of a problem or an error, they do not ignore it, but, seem to take it very seriously and do what they can to correct it. Nobody is perfect, but, the folks here most definitely try hard.”
