Mission: To Promote the well-being of the underserved by providing the
highest quality healthcare, regardless of the ability to pay.
Programs:
An average of 170 patient’s are seen weekly and the clinic now has a patient population of over 15,000 individuals who have logged over 25,000 visits.
We are the regular family doctors to over 15,000 adults and children. For them, the UMMA Community Clinic is the only source of healthcare and without us, many diseases would go undiagnosed or untreated. The clinic places an emphasis on regular visits, which incorporate screenings, immunizations and patient education as well as life-style modification. When a disease/illness is diagnosed, we provide regular treatment with appropriate medications and lab testing. If a patient requires more advanced tests or specialty care, we provide automatic referral to county facilities. Currently the Clinic provides:
- Tuesday through Friday adult family medicine clinics
- Wednesday and Saturday clinics for infants, children, and adolescents
- Childhood Immunizations
- Semi-annual health fairs
- HIV testing
- Specialty clinics for opthamology, gynecology, dermatology and teen
- On-site laboratory providing a full range of lab tests
- Direct referrals to local countymedical facilities
The clinic also places a great emphasis on actively directing patients towards appropriate social and legal services when a need is identified. Beyond medical care, the clinic sponsors such things as health fairs, food and clothing distributions, public health seminars, and in the future, tutoring for area children.
