$25:  A flu shot for someone with a chronic disease

$50:  A mammogram for an uninsured woman

$100: An ultrasound for a pregnant woman

$275:  A set of dentures for a homeless patient who has lost all their teeth

Neighborhood Health strives to be one of today’s leaders in primary care using the latest technology and proven treatments. We offer a workplace in which you are a member of a dedicated health team with a mission to provide quality healthcare to everyone in need.

Before submitting an application students should confirm with their school that the school has a current and executed affiliation agreement with Neighborhood Health.  Neighborhood Health must have an executed affiliation agreement with the institution of the student, resident, or intern in order to consider the individual for a placement.
