How We Help

Referrals to Specialists
When your doctor needs help managing your care, he or she can request a consultation with one of our volunteer specialists.

If accepted, you will see that specialist in their office.

Recommendations from the specialist and notes regarding any treatment provided will be sent to your doctor so that they can manage your ongoing care.
Breast Health
Your doctor can request screening mammograms, diagnostic testing so that cancer can be caught early and treated most successfully.
Pharmacy
If you are seen by a We Care Manatee specialist and you need medication, We Care Manatee can cover that medication through one of our Walmart partner pharmacies (limits apply).
Transportation

We can arrange transportation for you to the We Care Manatee office for an eligibility appointment or to any doctor's appointments we set up for you.

From A Patients Perspective

My illness has been a humbling experience, but at We Care I never felt badly because I couldn’t pay. I also know that I got the same quality of care that I would have if I could pay. I guess that’s the whole point behind what We Care is doing.

How It Works

See your primary care.

Your doctor sends us a referral for the specialist you need to see. Records are required that tell us why you need specialty care.

You bring us proof of income, proof that you live in Manatee County and a valid picture ID.

We contact one of our volunteer specialists who will schedule an appointment to provide you care.
