Who We Are
We are a private, non-profit organization dedicated to delivering comprehensive, affordable medical, dental, behavioral health, and social services to underserved men, women, and children in Miami-Dade County, including those experiencing homelessness. Our patient-centered medical home model emphasizes evidence-based care, promoting the adoption and implementation of clinical practice guidelines to enhance patient outcomes and overall care.
Located in downtown Miami at 336 NW 5th Street — and operating a satellite clinic at Camillus House and at Salvation Army — our committed team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to maintaining the health and well-being of Miami’s least fortunate residents.
Our Mission
Camillus Health Concern is a religious apostolate of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of God and the Roman Catholic Church. The spirit and content of the Code of Canon Law pervades throughout the governance and corporate life of Camillus Health Concern. We join in faith to facilitate the unfolding of God’s providential plan in every aspect of our organization. Our readiness to meet the complexity and concerns of our brothers and sisters in need identifies us as a mission of hope.
the center delivered its first health care services in 1984, when a group
of volunteer doctors began to provide basic services to clients eating
dinner at the Camillus House soup kitchen. Since then, Camillus Health
Concern has grown into a sophisticated, professional health care delivery
organization operating a state-of-the-art health center with community
and street outreach sites.
The Camillus Health Concern has been a Healthcare for the Homeless
330(h) grantee through the Bureau of Primary Health Care since 1989
and was designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in 1996.
Camillus Health Concern is the only free-standing, comprehensive Healthcare
for the Homeless funded provider in Miami-Dade County and is the only
agency in the county that exclusively provides healthcare for persons who
are homeless.
