About us
Based in Charlotte, NC, Care Ring leads a collaborative effort to meet our community's changing health care needs and to fight racial and economic disparities in health outcomes. We are a non-profit organization that helps people who fall through the cracks of the health care system in Mecklenburg County. Since 1955, we have been providing uninsured individuals struggling with poverty with access to medical and dental care. One in 10 people die from limited access to health services. Care Ring's goal is to prevent these needless tragedies and build a stronger, healthier community. Our 5 service lines fall under 2 pillars - Access to Care and Maternal-Child Health. Access to Care includes our Low-Cost Clinic; our Physicians Reach Out network of volunteer providers; and The Bridge, our mobile unit. Maternal-Child Health includes our Nurse-Family Partnership and A Guided Journey programs which serve at-risk pregnant and new mothers, providing a range of supportive care and resource connections from pregnancy until the child's second birthday, striving to improve birth and post-natal outcomes and reduce racial and socioeconomic disparities. Care Ring also has social workers and nurse case managers on staff to assist all our clients with accessing wraparound services like counseling, food, housing, medical equipment, medications, and more to remove barriers to living their best, healthiest life. Last year we served 7,800 individuals and their families.

Congratulations to our CEO Tchernavia Montgomery, MSW on her award from the Charlotte Hornets Foundation!
Last Saturday, I had the privilege of being extended the Charlotte Hornets Foundation Heroes award at their annual Hereos Gala. It’s been such a wonderful experience being a part of the Hornets Family, so to have my own join me at this prestigious event was incredibly humbling. It was a memorable night that I’ll never forget - especially being given my award by none other than NBA star, LaMelo Ball! Huge thanks to Betsy Mack, the Foundation’s Executive Director and Mr. James Jordan, the Foundation’s President for allowing me this unforgettable experience. They both, as well as Andie deCelis and Tiara Brown have been nothing short of kind and generous. Doors have been opened for me that I’d never believed would have been attainable. And, I’ve begun to wonder if I’m just getting started! Thank you to my village for all of your support! I don’t do this work alone! ❤️ Here’s to reaching for more in 2024, and aiming to strive in 2025! 🎉 Care Ring
