Light of the World Clinic

Keeping Broward County’s Uninsured Healthy Since 1989!

The Light of the World Clinic is a community-based volunteer medical clinic providing free primary and specialty healthcare, screening and diagnosis with medical treatment and counseling to the economically disadvantaged in Broward. By providing medical services to individuals, their families and seniors who are generally without insurance or financial resources to obtain proper health care, we hope to eliminate healthcare disparities in our community.

Our goal is to provide quality healthcare to qualified children, adults and the elderly with special needs and chronic illnesses who are uninsured. We help the underserved, “the working poor” to improve their health, knowledge and living standards by eliminating the cycle of poverty through healthy lifestyle changes, and access to care.

Operating five days a week, the Clinic provides a full range of medical services, intervention, risk factor reduction and prevention education. Volunteer doctors, nurses, and medical personnel help to facilitate these services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. For those languages that the Clinic does not provide, we request that patients to bring a friend or family member to interpret. On rare occasions, the Clinic also relies on translator applications and services.

The Clinic provides culturally sensitive healthcare training and medical internships to students and volunteers from all medical disciplines through agreements with Florida Atlantic University, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Barry University and Nova Southeastern University. As a part of its operation, the Clinic provides a number of services from intake and assessment/medical treatment, to prevention education.
