The mission of We Are the Uninsured is to bring the voices of the uninsured together to educate the community, and the policy makers on the impact that being uninsured has on each person, and on our community in order to bring about change.

Neighborhood Family Practice created We Are the Uninsured (WATU), a grassroots advocacy group of uninsured patients for the purpose of empowering the uninsured to use their voice to advocate for access to healthcare through health coverage reform. WATU has grown to include uninsured individuals and their families from throughout the Cleveland area. With funding from the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, the group was formed for patients and uninsured people to come together to correct public misperceptions of the uninsured as lazy or unemployed, and to bring the problems that uninsured individuals encounter to the attention of our elected leaders.

Neighborhood Family Practice (NFP) is a nonprofit community health center providing quality primary health care services to patients of all ages on the West Side of Cleveland, OH. We accept patients with Medicaid HMOs, commercial health insurance, Medicare and offer a sliding fee scale for patients without health insurance. Our sites are located in Cleveland's Stockyards and Tremont neighborhoods.
