Neighborhood HealthSource has provided quality, affordable health care to our community for more than 40 years. Neighborhood HealthSource started as two small, "free clinics" — Beltrami Health Center (now Central Clinic) and Fremont Clinic, staffed by volunteers and operating out of make shift rooms in community centers. The clinics incorporated in 1971, in the early '80s, bought and renovated their facilities and merged in 1988 to form Fremont Community Clinics, Inc. In 1995 we opened Sheridan Clinic in Northeast Minneapolis.
In 2010, the organization name was changed from Fremont Community Clinics to Neighborhood HealthSource. It was also announced that NHS would add a fourth clinic, to be part of a new senior community center being built in conjunction with a senior memory care housing development.
Central Clinic began as Beltrami Health Center, organized in 1970 by neighborhood activists at the Margaret Barry Neighborhood House in Beltrami Park, northeast Minneapolis. In 1985 the clinic moved to its current location on Central Avenue.
Fremont Clinic began in 1971 as a program of Northside Settlement Services which brought in a VISTA volunteer to help the community organize its own clinic. Fremont became an independent agency in 1981.
Sheridan Clinic was born from a neighborhood collaboration that created the Northeast Neighborhood Early Learning Center, (NE-NELC), in 1995. Constructed with the support of the City of Minneapolis, NE-NELC houses a number of agencies which work together to provide a broad range of services to support families with children ages 0 - 6.
Neighborhood HealthSource is a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b, and a deemed Public Health Service employee under 42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n).
The Neighborhood HealthSource by-laws require the organization to be governed by a voluntary Board of Directors comprised of at least 51% clinic patients. This reflects our commitment to ensuring accessible and appropriate services to meet community need.
The management structure at Neighborhood HealthSource supports unified agency-wide goals as well as allows decision-making at the clinic level. The Executive Director reports directly to the Board of Directors; he in turn supervises the clinical and operational staff.
