PanCare Health, officially known as PanCare of
Florida, Inc., is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that operates as a
Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). With a mission to provide high-quality, easily accessible healthcare services, PanCare has grown from a single clinic in 2003 to an extensive network of clinics and access points throughout Northwest Florida. Their services cover a wide area, including Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Liberty, Walton, and Washington Counties.
PanCare offers a comprehensive suite of healthcare services designed to meet the diverse needs of the community. These include:
medical services: They provide primary and walk-in medical care, wellness exams, physicals, vaccinations, and screenings for various health conditions.
Dental Services: The clinics offer dental exams, cleanings,
fillings, extractions,
crowns, and bridges.
Optometry Services: PanCare provides vision care, including eye exams and prescriptions for eyewear.
Behavioral Health: This includes counseling, case management, medication management, and substance use disorder treatment.
Pharmacy Services: They operate on-site pharmacies that offer discounted rates on prescriptions, often filled during a patient's appointment.
A key aspect of PanCare's service model is their commitment to accessibility. They operate one of the largest mobile healthcare fleets in Florida, bringing medical, dental, and optometry services directly to communities, schools, and events. This program is particularly vital for reaching underserved populations in remote or rural areas.
As an FQHC, PanCare is dedicated to providing affordable care. They accept various insurance plans, including Medicaid and United Healthcare, and offer a
sliding fee scale for
uninsured patients. This scale is based on household income and size, helping to ensure that cost does not serve as a barrier to receiving essential care. They are also a certified Patient-Centered Medical Home, which emphasizes a team-based approach to coordinate care for each patient.
