Welcome to Health Care Center for the Homeless 
The Health Care Center for the Homeless (HCCH) is a 
501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to providing the 
health care needs of the homeless and uninsured residents 
of our community in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. 
Founded in 1993 by Dr. Rick Baxley, we began as an evening 
medical clinic at a local homeless shelter in Orlando, Florida.  
Over the years, we have grown to address multiple areas in 
health care, centralized within our own clinic building, the 
Orange Blossom Family Health Center. Our Health Center is 
located just a few blocks west of downtown Orlando and we 
currently serve the homeless population of Orange, Osceola, 
and Seminole counties with the goal of returning our 
patients to lives of self-sufficiency.  
We also serve the housed but uninsured or underinsured 
residents
