Healthcare Navigation

Community Care of Lower Cape Fear is proud to bring health to the Help Hub. It is our goal to work with you to focus on health needs that matter to you. 

Insured, Uninsured, or Under-insured... we are able to work with all!


WHAT WE DO: 
Our work with the Help Hub Includes: 

  • Assisting with the process of applying for Medicaid, social security, or connecting with DSS and disability resources
  • Linking to doctors, dentists, behavioral health and vision providers, and other specialists
  • Providing medication education and helping with financial assistance for medicines
  • Connecting to resources for food, housing, jobs, and more
  • Obtaining needed referrals for care, durable medical equipment (DME), and supplies
  • Educating on lifestyle changes like stopping smoking and losing weight
  • Providing education to improve health and conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure

How Help HUB BEGAN

For years, area churches and non-profits have discussed ways to more efficiently serve those seeking financial assistance and/or needing help connecting to other resources.

Rather than working separately to address these concerns, The Harrelson Center, along with three Wilmington churches, combined resources to create The Help Hub. The Harrelson Center’s central location, on-site resource connections and heart to serve make it a uniquely ideal home for The Help Hub. By merging resources, we are able to make a greater impact in serving individuals and families in need in our community.
