Don Henderson founded Care 4 U Management, Inc. in 2014 to provide case management and support services to individuals and families affected by HIV epidemic in Miami-Dade County – specifically, the disproportionately impacted area of Liberty City. Care 4 U started providing services with funding from the now-defunct Medicaid Waiver Project AIDS Care (PAC Waiver) program in the heart of Liberty City, on NW 27th Avenue and 66th Street. Soon after PAC Waiver was sunsetted at the end of December 2017, Don partnered with Vanessa Mills, co-founder of Empower U, Inc., to expand the services Care 4 U provided to the community. The agency began providing outreach and HIV/STD testing to identify and connect newly diagnosed and those lost to care to health and support services.
In June 2018, a second location was opened on NW 7th Avenue and 47th Street, to provide medical care. With this new location, the agency grew at a tremendous rate. Care 4 U then began its journey to become a full-fledged primary health care center.
Today, Care 4 U's operates with the mission to ameliorate barriers to accessing primary care by expanding medical care services to reach low-income individuals regardless of their ability to pay. The health center provides primary medical care for men, women, and children, including well-child visits; immunizations; HIV specialty care; and STD screening. Care 4 U also provides outreach, case management/linkage to care services, on-site pharmacy, mental health and substance abuse counseling, transportation and emergency financial assistance services to low-income individuals in the high-need area of Liberty City.
