American Muslim Community Clinics bridges healthcare gap in Central Florida

In Central Florida, some mobile clinics and federally qualified health centers are serving low-income and uninsured patients in the area.

One such healthcare outfit, called American Muslim Community Clinics (AMCC), demonstrates the capacity of grassroots organizations to reach poor and uninsured people in Central Florida.

 The ambitious project, founded in 2017, serves approximately 8,500 people in the area.

The Longwood-based clinic has formed relationships with over 40 providers in the state as well as with healthcare centers such as AdventHealth-Orlando.

Through its partner providers, the clinic provides free healthcare to its patients, including radiology, lab work, dental care, and optometry.
