Mission Statement: (See Web Site For Updated Information)
An average of 150 patient?s are seen weekly and the clinic now has a patient population of over 10,000 individuals who have logged over 25,000 visits.
We are the regular family doctors to over 10,000 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. Undergraduates provide secretarial assistance, data management, charting, and any other assistance the clinic may need. We are always looking for medical professionals, especially in specialty fields (ophthalmology, dermatology, etc.), to donate their time and expertise to our patients. If you are a licensed/certified medical professional and would like to volunteer, please contact us.
