Welcome!
We are Clara’s House!
Our MissionClara’s House addresses the health needs of the poor as a manifestation of the spiritual beliefs of the participants cherishing diversity of cultures and religious beliefs.
Vision
The clinic provides primary health care and education for those economically disadvantaged among us. Nurse Practitioners operate the clinic in collaboration with volunteer MDs, NPs, RNs, and other health care professionals. They further extend care to those who do not have access to health care and are not aware of appropriate resources. The clinic staff works in coordination with existing services in the community and seeks to promote health maintenance through education, assessment and preventative health care. The staff coordinates ongoing care with professionals, agencies, schools, families, and the larger community.

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. “

I am not interested in
picking up crumbs of

considers himself my

rights.
