FoundCare, Inc. Expands
Pediatric Services

With increasing demand to help underserved
populations gain access to quality healthcare,
FoundCare, Inc. celebrated its most recent
expansion with a ribbon cutting ceremony for
its pediatric office at FoundCare Pediatric
North. Three experienced physicians oversee
the approximately 4,500 square foot space locat-
ed in the Mollie Wilmot Palm Healthcare
Pavilion at 5205 Greenwood Avenue in West
Palm Beach. “Today is an exciting day for Extraordinary Photography by Tina K. Valant
FoundCare, our patients and staff,” said Yolette
Bonnet, CEO for Foundcare, Inc. “FoundCare is committed to providing high quality healthcare throughout Palm Beach County. Our Pediatric North office allows
us to offer more services to a pediatric population that was simply receiving medical care. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, we have the ability to offer addi-
tional services including dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services. As we increase service sites, more people are being cared for, and that is an amazing
feeling.” Drs. Jaime Lambrecht, Janis Jones and Lisa Ferreira will see patients at this new site for FoundCare. The facility features seven exam rooms and the site is
strategically located in an underserved neighborhood that will benefit from the services offered.
