Benefactor Care:  Unparalleled Time and Access


St. Luke’s Family Practice is a non-profit medical office designed to provide free doctor visits to uninsured persons of our community.  We are supported by our generous Benefactors, people with health insurance who pay the practice directly for ready access to our physicians.  We do not bill any insurance or the government.

As a Benefactor, you have direct access to your physician in person or by phone, text, or email.  Same day and next day appointments are the rule, not the exception.  We offer extended appointment times so you never feel rushed.  You may schedule you own appointment from our schedule on-line anytime.

Each doctor’s practice is limited to 300 Benefactors each by agreement with the Internal Revenue Service for non-profit status.  This allows plenty of time for us to provide great service to our Benefactors and still have enough time to complete our mission of providing care to the uninsured of our community.

    Each doctor’s practice is limited to 300 Benefactors each by agreement with the Internal Revenue Service for non-profit status.  This allows plenty of time for us to provide great service to our Benefactors and still have enough time to complete our mission of providing care to the uninsured of our community.

  • Is St. Luke’s a church or government clinic?

    No.  St. Luke’s Family Practice is a private charity and we receive no support from any church or government agency.  St. Luke is the patron saint of physicians, so many other hospitals and health systems are named after St. Luke.

    Are there other clinics like St. Luke’s Family Practice?

    St. Luke’s Family Practice is a first-of-its-kind private charity, a non-profit doctor’s office, established in 2004 to provide basic primary care services to uninsured persons in our community. There are other clinics in other states that we have helped who have copied our basic model ( Our Lady Of Hope Clinic, Madison WI,  St. Joseph Primary Care, Raleigh NC ).

  • What is a Benefactor?

    Benefactors are individuals and families blessed with the ability to make donations to support the work of St. Luke’s Family Practice. As an additional benefit, they can choose a personal physician at St. Luke’s Family Practice and receive their primary medical care at no charge.

  • What Is a Recipient?

    Recipients are those with a healthcare need and no insurance. Recipients can sign up for our 8-weekly half-day sessions and receive free doctor visits on a “space available” basis.

Benefactors enjoy unparalleled access since the vastly smaller practice allows same day service.
