NeighborHealth Center, Inc.

NeighborHealth Center, Inc. is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing healthcare services to underserved communities in the Raleigh area. Founded in part due to the vision of Susanne Berger, a dedicated Christian and registered nurse, the center aims to serve those without access to quality healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay.
