Each year, the Clinic performs nearly 10,000 total medical and dental patient visits, prescribes medications, provides on-site laboratory testing and ultrasound examinations, offers low/no-cost referrals to radiology centers for basic X-ray and barium studies as well as provides comprehensive diabetes care and education. Additionally, over 55 subspecialists accept referrals to their practices from Clinic providers and on-site clinics in dermatology, gynecology, ophthalmology and infectious disease are maintained.
Volunteer
Calling all healthcare professionals (both medical & dental); you are needed!! Volunteers are an integral part of the Clinic’s ministry and are encouraged to join us to make a difference in a community that lives in great need. If you are a longtime career professional or just beginning as a student, you are welcomed to come make a difference while offering hope to many who live with very little.
Spiritual Care
The Clinic practices Whole Person care, i.e. we care for the whole person in the sense that we minister to the Mind, Body & Spirit. We care for each patient physically, emotionally, socially & spiritually believing these are components of the whole person. Volunteers are encouraged to participate in such care but are not required to. We offer onsite whole person care instruction and in conjunction with Grand Canyon University have developed an online curriculum to facilitate Whole Person care instruction.

For single taxpayers the allowable credit is $400. Tax Credit donations may be made up to April 15 for the previous year’s return.
