Mission Statement
St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center, in the tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph, seeks to create a healthier community by providing comprehensive, affordable, and affirming healthcare to the uninsured and underinsured in the Rochester region.
About Us
St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center provides person-centered comprehensive primary and specialty care, mental health counseling, support services and referrals, healthcare access assistance, and more to individuals and families who are uninsured and under-insured in the greater Rochester area.
Established in 1993 as a ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph, and becoming an independent nonprofit in 2012, the Center is committed to raising the health status and quality of life of individuals and families in our area.
Staffing
25 employees.
451 volunteers joined us in helping those we serve in 2025.
Our Impact
In 2025, the Center served 557 individuals at 3,328 unique visits.
2,100+ of those appointments were for our Counseling and Community Works (mental health) department.
We saw the most patients from zip codes 14620, 14609, 14621, 14624, and 14608 in 2025.
Patients and clients come primarily from the Rochester area and surrounding counties; however, there are no geographic or other limitations to service. Any uninsured or underinsured individual is welcome. Anyone who cannot access healthcare is welcome at St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center!
Funded by caring souls like you.
Our funding comes from the following areas:
Grants – 50%*
Donations – 42%
Fees for Service – 1%

*SJNC is very selective about which funders it applies to for grants. While this percentage of our funding model has increased in recent years, we are still fiercely independent and do not take funds from sources that dictate how we serve our patients.
