Charitable Care Membership

At Sentinel Primary Care, it is important to us that God’s children have access to high-quality healthcare. If you are below the poverty line, we would like to offer you help through our Charitable Care Policy if you qualify. Through this membership, we may be able to offer you comprehensive care without financial barriers.

Mission

Our daily mission is to serve our fellow North Carolina Christians with integrity and premium healthcare. We believe in putting love into action by pairing the latest technology with compassionate, personalized services.

At Sentinel Primary Care, we embrace God’s call to honor each and every human being, upholding their dignity. We are committed to providing our community with the treatment they deserve– regardless of income. As such, we have created the Charitable Membership, which allows individuals in need access to a wide array of healthcare.
