Ibn Sina Community Medical Center, SW Houston
Ibn Sina Foundation Community Medical Center in Southwest Houston was established in 2001 and expanded in March 2007. This unique medical center provides rare specialty medical services to Houston’s uninsured and underprivileged patients. Funds for the new Center and the necessary equipment were supported by Houston’s philanthropic community, the City of Houston and the Ibn Sina Foundation Board of Directors – a $1.8 million project.
The rationale for the new Center was to allow additional space for the ever-increasing number of uninsured and unemployed/low-income patients seen by the clinic each year. Specialty care services are now offered to Houston’s uninsured such as women’s health, pediatric care, diabetic management program, nutrition, cardiovascular and cancer screenings/services and eye care. In addition to housing specialty medical clinics, a special space is designed for physicians to educate patients about their disease, their required medications and/or nutrition.
