History
Interfaith Clinic provides primary medical care to a low income population, primarily the working uninsured.
It began as a volunteer effort in the library of St. Mary's Church in 1995, where two patients were seen the
first night.
Interfaith Clinic became a SHARE Foundation agency in 1997. Prescription medication assistance,
patient education and information & referral services are additional benefits offered by the clinic. We added
a dental clinic and a cardiology specialty clinic in 2001.
The prescription medication assistance program has also grown. We are currently assisting almost 3,500 qualifying
people in our community to obtain prescription medications at no cost.
Volunteers are very active at Interfaith. Since 1997 some 9,775 hours have been provided by over 120 professional
and lay individuals.
