Our Story

What started in 1998 as one man’s initiative to provide healthcare to uninsured local residents has blossomed into a lifeline for thousands. Dr. David Cook of then Lakeside Family Physicians, recognized the overwhelming need as soon as he began seeing a handful of uninsured patients in the back of a grocery store.

Dr. Cook and April Cook partnered with four area churches—Davidson United Methodist, First Baptist Church of Huntersville, St. Mark Catholic, and Meadow Lake Presbyterian—to launch the Lake Norman Community Health Clinic, a free clinic in the basement of the First Baptist Church of Huntersville, in 2001.

Become a Corporate Partner

Partnerships are essential to our ability to help uninsured patients restore and maintain their physical and emotional health. As a lean non-profit, we seek collaborators who understand what’s at stake and are driven to support with our mission.

“About two years ago, I was in need of healthcare and I did not have health insurance…I did my research and realized Cook Community Clinic was close to my house so I called immediately. The staff treated me so kindly and I felt like I was in a private health care office. My health needs were treated by awesome physicians and since then I have been telling others. Times are hard these days, but a person’s health should not be compromised.”
