Houston Shifa Services Foundation (www.HSSF.org)
and its healthcare facility, Shifa Clinic, are a nonprofit
organization founded by local physicians whose mission is to provide a
community-oriented alternative for people who cannot afford medical
treatment. HSSF operates four community clinics in the Houston Metro
Area. Our clinic’s mission statement is: Healing the community one
person at a time.®
Our clinic serves people of any race,
religion, or national background. Shifa focuses on preventive, as well
as family, general, and pediatric care. The clinic also offers breast
cancer and eye screenings, along with educational and social services.
Operated by a volunteer team of physicians, nurses, and administrative
staff, Shifa Clinic’s operating funds comes from generous donations
from the community and a nonmandatory clinic administrative fee of
$20. About 40% of our patients do not pay any fee. No one is refused
services because of nonpayment. We also offer funds to some of our
patients for prescription medicines and lab tests.
Our Story of Service involves a recent
immigrant, a 25-year-old mother of two young children.
