The Clinic caters to a target population of individuals who earn 200% of the Federal Poverty Level or less. The Clinic provides a wide range of medical services through the dedication of volunteer healthcare professionals and staff. Medical services offered include family practice, dental, surgery, spiritual care, laboratory services, and an on-site licensed pharmacy.

The Clinic collaborates with various nonprofit programs to extend its reach, ensuring that even those in drug rehabilitation programs receive comprehensive healthcare.
