Charlotte Pain Management Center Celebrates Over 25 Years of Providing Relief
Charlotte Pain Management Center commemorates over 25 years of service, continuing its mission to deliver innovative, compassionate pain relief to the Southwest Florida community.
Port Charlotte, Florida, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charlotte Pain Management Center, known for its commitment to personalized pain treatment, celebrates over 25 years of delivering compassionate care and clinical excellence in Southwest Florida. Established in 1997, it has become a cornerstone of hope and healing for those dealing with chronic pain. Dedicated to restoring quality of life, it combines medical expertise, innovation, and patient advocacy.
Charlotte Pain Management Center'It's difficult to put into words what this milestone means to us,' says Nancy Harris, RN, founder and CEO of Charlotte Pain Management Center. 'Personally, this clinic isn't just a business. It's a calling. I grew up believing you help people whether you know them or not, and that principle has guided everything we do here. After so many years, to still be here and still making a difference, we're beyond grateful. Our patients trust us with some of the hardest parts of their lives, and that trust means everything to us.'
Charlotte Pain Management Center was founded on the belief that no one should have to live in persistent pain without access to meaningful relief. Catering to patients suffering from nerve pain, neuropathy, bone and joint issues, and complex chronic conditions, the clinic offers interventional and non-interventional treatment plans that are as individualized as the patients themselves. The center employs a whole-patient approach that blends cutting-edge and compassionate care. This is evident in its services, from spinal cord stimulation and radiofrequency ablation to advanced joint and nerve block injections.
The team at Charlotte Pain Management Center includes experienced physicians, medical professionals, and behavioral health specialists who collaborate to address the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of pain. Besides its team of experts, the clinic is also known for its commitment to accessibility. It works with patients who may lack insurance or resources, ensuring that no one is turned away without options.
'Where others might only offer one-size-fits-all procedures, we build sustainable and personalized care paths,' Harris says. That reputation for providing relief where others couldn't have helped solidified the clinic as a vital resource in the region. However, it's worth noting that it took grit and resilience for Charlotte Pain Management Center to establish itself in the field.
The founder began her career managing home health services and medical practices, where she witnessed firsthand the gap in long-term, effective pain care. Her vision to create a more humane and more effective approach led to the founding of the center. Unfortunately, the founder faced some monumental challenges within her personal life.
Yet, even during the darkest times, Harris never considered closing the doors. Her connection to her patients and the knowledge that many had nowhere else to turn drove her to push forward. 'I couldn't let them down,' she recalls. 'We're often the last stop. Shutting down wasn't an option.'
Emerging from that period with renewed focus, Harris revitalized the clinic. She hired a new physician who brought fresh capabilities and advanced techniques to the team, reestablished essential services like cancer pain treatment, and invested in the latest technologies, including state-of-the-art C-arm imaging equipment. The center expanded its programs to include comprehensive neuropathy protocols and innovative, lesser-known modalities. The outcome was a rebirth both in operations and in mission.
As it celebrates over 25 years of serving the community, Charlotte Pain Management Center remains committed to staying at the forefront of the medical field. Harris remarks: 'Technology and treatments will continue to advance, but our priority will always be to deliver patient-centered care.'

Nonprofit in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood working to prevent HIV infections
In a quiet corner of Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, Kareem Mims is doing work that could one day put him out of a job, and he hopes it does. As a prevention healthcare coordinator at Prevention Point Philadelphia, Mims tests people for HIV, the virus that has taken the lives of over 700,000 people in the United States since the start of the epidemic in 1981. "HIV is still an easy virus to spread. It's still an easy virus to contract, and it can go unnoticed for years," Mims said. "So, the more people getting tested, especially our at-risk folks, if they are infected with HIV, we can get them in treatment and have them undetectable, which means un-transmittable, within 30 days." Mims works for Prevention Point, a nonprofit that has been on the front lines of harm reduction for over 30 years. The organization launched Philadelphia's first legal syringe exchange in 1992, at the height of the AIDS crisis, a time when nearly 50% of new HIV infections in the city were linked to drug use. Today, thanks to expanded access to testing, treatment, and prevention, Prevention Point said that figure has dropped to just 5.8% as of 2023. One of the people getting tested is Maryann Parken, a regular at Prevention Point. "These people are awesome," she said. "I get a lot of services here. I get PrEP. I get everything. So, I come here like every day." Parken said she tests regularly because her partner had hepatitis C. "Just in case," she said. The science around HIV prevention has evolved dramatically. Antiretroviral medications now allow people living with HIV to become undetectable, meaning they cannot transmit the virus to others. There's also PrEP, a once-daily oral medication that prevents HIV infection, and more recently, long-acting injectable versions. "When I first started working here four years ago, we only had oral PrEP like Descovy," Mims said. "Now we're doing long-acting injections, which I really recommend to all of our patients, especially our unhoused patients." "In this population, people lose their pills," he added. "People get their pills stolen." Despite the progress, Mims said there's still work to do. He hopes treatment continues to advance and that one day, the virus will no longer be a threat. "I'm currently trying to work myself out of a job," he said. "When we have zero HIV infections, I'll feel satisfied."

Blue state GOP lawmakers urge major healthcare change for illegal immigrants
EXCLUSIVE: Colorado congressional Republicans are asking the state to stop allowing illegal immigrants to enroll in the state's Medicaid program, Health First Colorado. The program's availability to those in the country illegally who meet other requirements for coverage started this year, and the Republicans pitched changes in a letter to Democratic Gov. Jared Polis Wednesday. On Health First Colorado's website, it says, "Don't let immigration status stop you from applying for health coverage," citing state law. "Other Democrat-run states like California and Minnesota are beginning to walk back their policies that offer free and subsidized health care to illegal immigrants even without the One Big Beautiful Bill Act being law because they know that these policies are expensive, bad deals for their Medicaid beneficiaries," the letter from representatives Gabe Evans, Jeff Crank and Lauren Boebert states. "It is disheartening to see Colorado continue to double down and prioritize individuals who are unlawfully present even in the face of adverse impacts on Americans who need Medicaid the most, and we urge you to reverse course," the Republicans added. As the letter notes, Colorado is one of seven states that offer public healthcare coverage that does not factor in one's immigration status. California, Minnesota and Illinois are making reforms to their Medicaid offerings, according to The Wall Street Journal. Minnesota and Illinois are ending the availability as part of budget deals, and California is navigating different options, like a possible enrollment freeze, as its legislature hashes out a budget. In California, a recent poll revealed nearly 60% oppose Medicaid for illegal immigrants despite the law going into effect last year. The lawmakers added that the reconciliation bill includes a provision that will significantly penalize states that provide coverage to illegal immigrants because the Medicaid programs receive both federal and state taxpayer dollars. "There is a renewed urgency to revise this policy in light of the likely enactment of federal legislation to reduce the Medicaid [Federal Medical Assistance Percentage] for the expansion population from 90% to 80% for sanctuary states who use taxpayer dollars to cover illegal immigrants. As you know, this change would pose significant budgetary challenges to Colorado – but only if the state continues to pursue this policy," the letter states. A spokesperson for Polis' office told Fox News Digital in a statement that the reconciliation bill in the U.S. Senate should be completely redone from the House version. "Governor Polis is disappointed these three lawmakers are trying to gut Medicaid and kick people off private insurance, which would raise insurance costs for everyone who buys commercial insurance because of cost-shifting. Thanks to their votes — which they're trying to distract from — nearly 400,000 Coloradans would lose health care, which would also raise costs for everyone else," the statement said. "Governor Polis continues calling on the Senate to start from scratch with this terrible bill, including truly protecting Medicaid and extending critical subsidies for those who purchase plans off the health exchange so Coloradans can afford health care."
