Description:
HealthLink is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization of experienced volunteer physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, nurses, dental hygienists, pharmacists, other health professionals, and clerical staff who provide free primary medical and dental care to eligible patients living in Bucks or Montgomery counties.

As a well-qualified, compassionate team of volunteer professionals, we work together to provide the highest-quality care for patients, while respecting individual cultures and patient confidentiality. We also have a network of participating physicians and hospitals who give specialized care and tests when needed. Other community agencies provide support services and are available for referral, too.

Each of our licensed providers meet strict state and national credentialing requirements. Credentialing Boards include: The State Board of Medicine and Dentistry and the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.

History:
In the fall of 1998, the directors of the Fourjay Foundation sought to create a proactive, non-profit organization to help address the growing unmet medical needs in the local community.

The HealthLink Medical Center was launched as an organization of volunteer physicians, dentists, nurses, dental hygienists, social service workers and pharmacists providing free primary medical and dental care to individuals and families, employed without health insurance, who live in Bucks and Montgomery Counties in Southeastern, PA.

The Purpose of HealthLink is to:

  • Provide timely and adequate primary medical care intervention, including physical assessment, treatment planning, primary intervention immunization, pharmaceuticals, minor procedures, counseling, and evaluation of patient response to interventions.
  • Provide timely and adequate dental care intervention, including physical assessment, treatment planning, primary intervention (cleaning, extraction, repair, and counseling) and evaluation of patient response to interventions.
  • Provide patient education activities, including individual assessment and instruction, as well as group and family intervention.

The Fourjay Foundation purchased the property at 1775 Street Road, Southampton, PA and donated its use for HealthLink's clinical operation. Medical services began on March 8, 2001 and dental services began August 15, 2001.
