If you look to the left border column on this page, you will see 

the names of the Clinic’s Board of Directors and officers. This 

is a working board, all of whom have volunteered in the Clinic 

or served on Clinic committees. The doctors and dentists, 

retired CEOs, teachers, hospital administrators, business 

owners, and attorneys who bring a variety of experience and 

talent to the Clinic. They set policy, oversee finances, bring 

attention to the mission, raise funds, and address the future 

needs of the Clinic. 

The Board’s governance contributes to the Clinic’s Four 

Star rating from Charity Navigator and GuideStar’s Gold Seal 

of Transparency. As the governing body, the Board focuses 

on the mission, strategy, and goals of the Clinic. Their most 

important job is to move the mission forward responsibly and 

transparently, always in service of those uninsured workers in 

need of quality healthcare.

“When I first felt the lump, I came in and the nurse told me 

they were going to take care of me. They got me in to see the 

surgeon and my oncologist…the Clinic took me through all of 

it. It has been such a blessing to me. I can’t even tell you.” 

~Neighborhood Health Clinic Patient

I share the Neighborhood Health Clinic’s 2017 Annual Report with both 

pride and pleasure. As a supporter of the Clinic, you are vital to our progress 

and our mission. 

Since I officially joined the Clinic four years ago, I have come to realize 

just how great a privilege it is to continue my parents’ vision to provide care 

to those without access to quality medical care because they are poor. Their 

dignity is undiminished as they work to improve their lives and care for their 

families. 

The needs of our patients drives the Clinic’s work. The addition to the 

Clinic’s campus is due in large part to need for a more comprehensive dental 

program. Too many patients faced oral health issues that had a negative 

impact on their overall health and well-being. A significant increase in 

volunteer physicians and dentists will increase the scope of service we can 

provide our patients 

The Clinic’s success can be attributed to and the compelling nature of my 

parents’ vision. It is only through the strength of commitment so generously 

shared by our Board of Directors, supporters, volunteers that we continue 

the progress we have made.

Clinic doors each day 


Chief Executive Officer 

“When you start to get a chronic disease or illness, and it 

hits you, you don’t know what to do. And then you get 

someone that is willing to help you the way the Clinic 

has helped me, it’s a miracle.”

One is rarely so fortunate to see one’s vision realized and expanding. With the help of so many 

people, I have such good fortune. Bill and I were blessed to see the Clinic grow from the vision to 

reality; to see it become established and serving our community well. There is always more on the 

horizon. 

As there were so many staunch champions in the beginning, there are even more today who 

diligently persevere to insure the integrity of the Clinic and the mission: not to be bigger but to be 

better in the service of those who seek our help. 

I thank all those who from the beginning embraced and nurtured the vision and welcome those who 

will foster the mission, goals and vision as the Clinic moves into the future.

Our Patients 

Share Their Stories 

What a blessing? 

Mark was suffering from a chronic swollen knee when a 

member of the club where he worked suggested that he 

make an appointment to have it examined at Neighborhood 

Health Clinic. That was 11 years ago. Working to care and 

provide for family, Mark faced with another hurdle, heart 

disease. During a visit to one of the Clinic’s volunteer 

cardiologists, Mark complained of back pain which led to a 

diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Mark says: “I believe it 

is through God and the volunteer doctors at the Clinic that 

today I am cancer free.” Further chronic conditions were in 

his future, but he continues to work through his condition 

with the care provided by the Clinic. “I am so thankful. I 

could never afford my treatment, care and medications. The 

Clinic is a blessing to me and my family. I hope to one day 

return the kindness.”

Gifts of Gratitude 

Life Saving Measures 

Ruth sought employment and was hired at a local farm 

participating in a DNA study on a variety of vegetables. She 

assists by cultivating the seeds from selected tomatoes, 

peppers, squash and other vegetables for the study. As a 

grateful patient, Ruth shares the fruits of her labor with a 

generous gift for the Clinic volunteers and staff to enjoy. 

Having been a patient for more than two years, Ronnie is 

well acquainted with the Clinic team. As a result the physical 

requirements of working as a painter, pressure washer and 

handyman, Ronnie developed an ulcer on his toe. Delaying 

medical attention, the extent of the condition exacerbated 

to the point where the infection had spread through his 

calf. Once he sought care at the Clinic, our physicians were 

able to save his leg and all of his toes but the small one. 

Continuing treatment, Ronnie is now seen twice a week and 

is counseled on taking life-saving medications. 

Ronnie is overwhelmed with the care and attention he 

receives. “It is always a pleasure to come to the Clinic. 

Everyone is nice. Having relationships with people is 

important and I have good relationships with everyone, from 

the volunteers at the intake desk to the doctors. I hope to 

one day be able to give back,” says Ronnie.

Patient

Please enjoy the Neighborhood Health Clinic’s 

Annual Report. I hope you find it as informative as we 

do here at the Clinic. In these pages, you will learn 

how the support of you and other contributors made 

an impact on the lives of so many here in Naples. 

During 2017, the Clinic cared for patients through more 

than 10,000 patient visits and performed 26,000 plus 

patient procedures. We are able to do this because 

of the commitment of more than 700 volunteers and 

countless donors. This is possible because of your 

giving in which we leverage each dollar raised 7 times 

to deliver over $16.5 million in retail services with a 

budget of $2.4 million. 

Date Night? 

Our patients receive 

twice the care when these 

couples come to the Clinic. 

If you haven’t been to the Clinic lately, or at all, 

please make plans to visit. We continue to increase 

our impact and raise the quality of our services. Our 

patients deserve the best medical and dental services 

and we hope to continue delivering on that promise.

Healing and progress go hand in hand at the 

Neighborhood Health Clinic. In order to address our 

patients’ needs, the Clinic must continue to progress: 

additional physicians, dentists, nurses; expanded 

scope of services and space in which to provide care; 

new or upgraded equipment. In the past year, the 

Clinic’s progress has exceeded all expectations and 

allows the Clinic to address the increasingly complex 

needs in an ever-changing medical landscape. 

As we see patients improve and progress to live 

healthier lives, there is a positive impact on each 

patient’s family. Our work benefits all of our community, 

with reduced emergency room visits for primary care. 

The hopes of progress and opportunity to which our 

patients aspire is so often rooted in the care they receive 

at the Clinic. That is the “hope” of our mission—“Hope 

and healing for those in need.”

Gourmet Vintner Dinner 

An Exceptional Evening with our Devoted Supporters 

This exceptionally elegant evening, the annual event 

hosted by Neighborhood Health Clinic, was held at The 

Ritz-Carlton on February 3rd. Through the generosity of our 

presenting patrons, Pat and Vince Foglia, along with our 

guests and contributors, a record breaking $1,000,000+ was 

raised to continue the mission providing hope and healing for 

those in need. 

Dancing, dining and fine wines were on call for the evening. 

As guests arrived, they were welcomed with a wine tasting 

experience of twelve premiere vintners explicitly selected 

by The Ritz-Carlton’s sommelier. The event moved into the 

ballroom with vintners presenting at select tables building 

up to a premier dining experience. Cahlua and Cream, the 

beloved duo from Naples, had guests out of their seats and 

dancing the night away. 

The spirit of the Clinic was shared through “Voices of 

Gratitude” a video featuring the personal experiences of the 

help and healing delivered through their care at the Clinic. 

Reflective of the patients of the Clinic, their message speak 

of the blessings, life-saving and restorative care at the Clinic. 

Jon Finstrom, dedicated supporter and auctioneer brought 

the evening to a crescendo through the live auction, Save-A 

Life, and an all-new experience, Pass the Hat. A hat filled with 

items from the guests, and a treasured Clinic necklace from 

Nancy Lascheid, was auctioned off like a goodie bag from 

days gone by. 

Susan Jones’s devoted leadership endures, as she and her 

committee host an evening full of excitement dedicated to the 

Clinic. We look forward to the 2019 Gourmet Vintner Dinner 

for an evening of festivities supporting patient services.

Education 

Key to providing Hope and 

Healing for Those in Need to our 

patients is through education to 

improve health, drop bad habits 

and be proactive in health care. 

Diabetic educators meet with 

patients one on one, sometimes 

with the assistance of a translator 

to discuss the nutritional food 

choices and quantities necessary 

to continue on the path of good 

health. Utilizing visual aids assists 

with the instructional time. 

Other educational courses 

offered by the Clinic include: 

Breast Health 

CPR Protocol 

Diabetes Management 

Healthy Lifestyles 

Quit Smoking Now

Medication Room 

The medication room is key to the successful treatment of our 

patients. During a patient visit, a collaboration between the physician, 

nurse, and pharmacist determines the best course of treatment to 

improve the health of each patient. One key to successful use of the 

medication is thorough communication explaining frequency and 

timeliness of taking medication. Many patients are provided 30 days 

of medication at a time to keep the open lines of communication and 

tracking compliance of treatment. The Clinic boasts nearly double 

compliance of prescription protocol over the national average. 

By the Numbers in the Med room: 

Clinic Compliance rate – 92 – 96% 

National compliance rate – 50%

Community Spotlight 

The Naples United Church of Christ (NUCC) has been a partner 

of the Neighborhood Health Clinic since the Clinic’s founding in 

1999. The number of Clinic volunteers that come from NUCC is 

testimony to its mission that includes community outreach and 

active involvement in causes that change people’s lives for the 

better. Through its Board of Missions and Outreach Campaign, the 

congregation embraced the Clinic’s effort to address desperately 

needed dental care for low-income, unisured adults. 

Putting their beliefs into action and opportunity to effect positive 

change, the church chose to fund a dental operatory suite for more 

complex procedures. Through the recognition and understanding 

of the problem, the Church joined together and raised $234,000. 

“Partnerships like these allow the Clinic to identify needs and 

address with action to better serve our patients,” said Keith Maples, 

the Clinic’s Chief Development Officer
