Terri Belletto, Executive Director of the Flagler Free Clinic, expressed gratitude: "We are beyond grateful to Hammock Dunes Cares for their extraordinary generosity. This substantial donation will undoubtedly make a profound impact on the clinic's ability to serve the healthcare needs of the community."​

In 2024, the Florida Senate passed legislation increasing the maximum income eligibility for free clinic services from 200% to 300% of the federal poverty level. This expansion allows individuals and families earning up to $74,580 for a family of three to access the Flagler Free Clinic's comprehensive, no-cost healthcare services. With a larger pool of eligible patients, the clinic's need for funding has grown to meet the increased demand for services.​

The Flagler Free Clinic strives to maximize the impact of every donation, aiming to transform each dollar received into ten dollars' worth of comprehensive care. Continued support and involvement are vital to sustaining and enhancing its impact on residents in need.​
