Samir Shah MD - Message from our Chairperson and the goals for this year!
The Indian American Medical Association Charitable Foundation (IAMACF) operates a fully functional Free Medical Clinic at 2645 W. Peterson Avenue, serving underserved and uninsured communities since 1994.
In 2024, the clinic served 1,287 patients, provided 671 lab tests, 832 prescriptions, and delivered care through 450 volunteer physician hours and 2,850 medical student volunteer hours.
Services include Women’s Health, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Diabetic Education, Podiatry, and EKGs — all in a culturally inclusive environment.
2026 Vision & Action Plan
Expand clinic operations from 3 days to 5 days per week.
Increase funding through government/private grants and donations.
Enhance diagnostic services with more point-of-care testing and partnerships for free hospital-based tests (e.g., stress tests, echocardiograms, colonoscopies).
Build a specialist network to provide no-cost advanced care.
Strengthen community outreach for education, elderly care, immunizations, and mental health.
Collaborate with social, spiritual, and medical organizations.
Expand the free generic medication formulary through pharmaceutical partnerships.
Offer regular mental health and targeted screening programs (e.g., vision, prostate cancer).
Upgrade medical software for e-prescriptions and telehealth.
Increase awareness to grow patient visits from 120 per month toward the expanded clinic capacity.
Your donations and volunteer support make these services possible, ensuring accessible, high-quality healthcare for those who need it most.
