That's why Shepherd’s Hope, in partnership with Nemours Children’s Health and Who We Play For, is offering FREE school and sports physicals for uninsured youth ages 18 and under. Multiple appointment dates are available at our Downtown Orlando, West Orange, and Longwood health centers.

School physicals and sports physicals are available, and ECGs will be provided by Who We Play For when needed for sports participation.

Appointments are required. Call the health center you wish to visit to schedule.

Help us spread the word so every child can start the school year healthy and ready to learn!

As we begin National Nurses week, we celebrate the compassion, dedication, and strength of the nurses who care for our patients every single day.

At Shepherd’s Hope, our nurses do far more than provide medical care; they offer comfort, advocacy, encouragement, and hope. Whether they’re welcoming a new patient, managing care with expertise, or simply taking a moment to listen, their impact reaches far beyond the exam room.

To every nurse on our team: thank you for the skill, heart, and humanity you bring to this mission. Your work changes lives, and our community is stronger because of you.

We’re honored to highlight two dedicated volunteers, both of whom represent the compassion, commitment, and heart that fuel this work every day. Their service helps make compassionate, accessible healthcare possible for thousands of uninsured neighbors in our community. We’re deeply grateful for the many volunteers who help carry this mission forward and for the supporters who make that service possible.

Students from Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine are gaining real-world experience while making a meaningful impact, volunteering monthly with Shepherd’s Hope to serve uninsured and underinsured families.

For student Mariana Valdez, the experience is deeply personal. After losing her mother and questioning her path in medicine, volunteering at Shepherd’s Hope reignited her passion. Now, she’s come full circle, returning as a medical student to care for others alongside a team dedicated to compassion over cost.

Through this growing partnership, students are stepping beyond textbooks, shadowing physicians, assisting patients, and learning what it truly means to practice medicine.
