A great story and something we need more of.
Al-Shifa has an open-door policy to provide care regardless of race, religion or socio-economic status. We serve primarily low-income and uninsured patients. Our website explains that “shifa” is the Arabic word for cure and that the clinic is based on the teachings of Islam ― compassion for the sick and service to those in need. And we’re not alone ― one survey found that there are at least 10 Muslim health clinics that serve the uninsured or underinsured, including non-Muslim-majority communities, throughout the U.S.
