Low-cost care for uninsured patients: New Patient Info Search
The Neighborhood Christian Clinic
Reaching the world for Christ through the healthcare community
Our clinic exists to restore health and hope through Whole Person Care—addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Our work is rooted in compassion, community, and the belief that everyone deserves access to quality care
Over 1 million people in Phoenix don’t have access to the healthcare care they need.
Organized by a group of volunteer healthcare professionals, we exist simply to:
- Provide medical, dental and behavioral healthcare services to the uninsured, underserved community
- Share the Gospel and love of Christ with interested patients and colleagues
- Train and equip healthcare professionals to respectfully share the Gospel and love of Jesus in their daily practice
More efficient care, dollar for dollar
At the Neighborhood Christian Clinic, we take financial accountability—and the stewardship of every donor dollar—very seriously. Your generosity is an investment in Gospel-centered healthcare, and we work hard to ensure every gift is used wisely, efficiently, and transparently.
Because of our strong community of healthcare volunteers, interpreters, and partners, the Clinic is able to provide high-quality medical and dental care at a fraction of the true cost. Patients contribute a small, dignity-affirming fee—$40 for medical and behavioral health visits and $50 for dental visits—which helps them take ownership of their care.
Every remaining cost is covered by the generosity of donors like you. Your support bridges the gap so uninsured and underserved neighbors receive the care they need, and so healthcare providers can be equipped to compassionately share the Gospel.
Find out how your donations were allocated to best serve patients and strengthen Gospel-focused healthcare in Phoenix.
Services with the highest standard of care
Each year, the Clinic performs approximately 10,000 patient visits, serving those in medical and dental need who don’t qualify for government-sponsored healthcare.

Our Story Began With a Simple Vision
The Neighborhood Christian Clinic was founded in 1999 by a group of healthcare professionals with a mission to serve the uninsured and underserved community in Phoenix, Arizona.
Since then, we have provided Whole-Person Care to thousands of patients and are now training other medical professionals in the United States and around the world with our Whole-Person Care curriculum.
