At Neighborhood, this is our vision : a community where everyone is healthy and happy. We’re with you every step of the way, with the care you need for each of life’s chapters.

At Neighborhood, we are Better Together.

As a private, non-profit 501(C) (3) community health organization, we serve over 414,000 medical, dental, and behavioral health visits from more than 95,000 people annually.

We do this in pursuit of our mission to improve the health and happiness of the communities we serve by providing quality care to all, regardless of situation or circumstance.

Since 1969, our employees have been making this mission a reality. Regardless of the role, our team focuses on being compassionate, having integrity, being professional, always collaborating, and consistently going above and beyond.
