What if the doctor's office you've been putting off is now inside your local food bank? In this episode of Stick a Fork in It, we sit down with Brad Herremans, CEO of Suncoast Community Health Centers, to talk about the clinic that's quietly changing healthcare in Tampa Bay.
Since opening its doors at Feeding Tampa Bay this February, the on-site clinic has served more than 450 patients through 800+ visits — providing primary care, women's health, and soon, pediatric services on a sliding fee scale. A basic visit starts at just $40.
Brad shares why "affordable healthcare can actually mean a lot," how Suncoast helps families navigate Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance plans without fear, and the long-term vision to build a full-service community health center right here at Feeding Tampa Bay.
Plus: Brad's remarkable 22-year career as a U.S. Air Force Medical Service Corps officer, retiring as a Colonel — and why he believes the family serves alongside every service member.
This isn't a free clinic. It's something better — healthcare built around you.
