Program Overview: National Deaf Academy serves an extremely diverse, and at times neurologically complicated, population. Since opening in 2000, our clinicians have determined that a "quick and easy" classification of our frequently complex residents is both difficult, as well as counterproductive to the treatment process. As a result, we do things a bit differently.
First and foremost, all residents are required by state law to be separated by age, with children and adolescents housed and programmed separately from adults over age 18. The exception, of course, is in The Charter School, where class groupings are determined by each resident's academic and developmental level of functioning. No two residents are the same. Therefore, we prefer not to place residents into generic groups based on a genral diagnosis. All clinical subgroups deal with issues relating to mood, behavioral control and optimal real-life functioning. The Treatment Team considers a wide range of clinical criteria to best determine the ideal group placement for each individual resident.

Operations are funded through private and corporate donations, grants and on-going fundraising. We have created a compassionate and nurturing environment for patients, volunteers and staff that is based on our philosophy that (1) healing does not begin with a pill or therapy, but when you greet someone at the door, invite them in, take an interest in their lives and give them the dignity and respect they often get nowhere else, and (2) the greatest healing does not go to the patients that come to receive care, but to the volunteers that go to the VIM-Jax Clinic to give care.

Mrs. Freddie Webster, R.N., B.A., WE CARE Coordinator
Our Mission
The mission of WE CARE Jacksonville is to improve the access to quality health care for Jacksonville's uninsured and homeless population by:
· COORDINATING the participation of multiple community agencies in providing primary health care services at city-wide clinic locations.
· MAINTAINING the quality of care provided to clinic patients by ensuring that all medical care is supervised by Florida licensed health care professionals.
· ENCOURAGING the voluntary contribution of medical goods and supplies by the private sector for use in the WE CARE Clinics.
The WE CARE Jacksonville network is a non-profit organization which began as a grass roots coalition of physicians, nurses, dentist, hospitals, public health facilities, other allied health professionals, clerical personnel, and local church groups. Together they bring desperately needed primary and specialty care to those who need it most - the non-insured, the homeless, and medically underserved people of Jacksonville.
The WE CARE program provides free medical treatment (and when necessary, hospitalization) to Duval County persons in need of these services.
If a patient requires medical evaluation/treatment beyond the scope of what the clinic can provide, a referral is made to an appropriate WE CARE participating specialist.
Who is Eligible For Services?
The guidelines for acceptance into the WE CARE program are:
1. Income at or below 200% of poverty level as defined by the Federal Government;
2. Patient carries no applicable insurance;
Availability of services is promoted through radio and newspaper public services announcements, through networking with area homeless shelters, soup kitchens, Department of Health service centers, and other community agencies and churches.
