The mission of Northeast Neighbor to Neighbor is to serve as a resource to the Historic Northeast Kansas City community, providing effective support and access for medically underserved neighborhood residents. To address the glaring need for specialized health care services of this population, in 2005, Dr. Joslyn recruited other professionals in the community who shared her vision to enable underserved residents to receive specialized services. Together they formed a board of directors and incorporated as a 501c3 organization.
