UMMA COMMUNITY CLINIC
UMMA provides comprehensive family care that rivals the best private care in Los Angeles, and we do it for everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Our facilities are a clean, safe oasis in a profoundly underserved area. A group of Muslim medical students from UCLA founded UMMA in the wake of the Rodney King riots. Their boldness, passion and faith drive everything we do. UMMA is now a Federally Qualified Health Center, we’re expanding our facilities to meet the community’s ever expanding need. And our dedication to medical students and the future of medicine is unshakable. As a teaching site for UCLA, UMMA nurtures the next generation of physicians by giving them extensive, hands-on experience treating our patients. Lastly, Islam and its teachings are at the core of everything we do from our rigorous ethics, to our financial discipline and our absolute belief that all people deserve dignity, respect and access to excellent healthcare.
