A Debary Islamic center in southeastern Florida US has opened a free health clinic to offer medical services for uninsured and needy people in the area. 

The clinic, which was opened on Sunday, will have doctors who will be available to see patients for a month, also will offer lab services and prescription assistance. 

For the mosque’s 200 members, the free clinic is a way to correct misconceptions about Islam. 

It is noteworthy that American Muslims have launched earlier similar initiatives across the country. In 2010, a group of Ohio doctors opened the Noor Community Clinic, offering free medical check-ups and counseling for people without medical insurance or government help.
