St. Mary’s Free Health Clinic

Saint Mary’s Health Clinics (SMHC) provide free medical care, outreach and education to low-income, uninsured families and individuals who are not eligible for government programs. It was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondolet, Saint Paul Province, upon the belief that healthcare is a basic human right. SMHC works with hundreds of compassionate, caring, and gifted volunteers. SMHC also conducts health promotion, health screening, health education, and outreach in collaboration with community organizations and advocates for healthcare as a basic human right while assisting low-income people to find affordable healthcare coverage.

Saint Mary’s Health Clinic provides medical services Monday afternoon and all day on Wednesday at the Saint Matthew’s Parish Center. Annually, we have over 500 open clinic sessions. These clinic sessions are staffed by volunteer doctors, nurses, interpreters and individuals handling the patient registration process. Individuals receiving medical services are primarily Hispanic/Chicano/Latino.
