Bridging The Health Disparity in South Los Angeles
Our Mission
Since 1996
UMMA Community Clinic opened its doors in 1996 as a direct response to the Los Angeles Riots, to help heal the South Los Angeles community.
Our Mission: To promote the well-being of the underserved by providing access to high-quality healthcare for all, regardless of ability to pay.
Our services, activities and governance reflect the Islamic values and moral principles which inspired our founders. These include the core values which are universally shared and revered by society at large: Service, Compassion, Human Dignity, Social Justice, and Ethical Conduct.
Challenges Our Community Faces
Our Primary Challenge
Health disparities are defined as differences in the quality of health and the level of health care across different populations. Nowhere are these disparities between the haves and have-nots more eminent than in South Los Angeles, the poorest area in Los Angeles County.
The health disparity between South Los Angeles (SPA6) and neighboring West Los Angeles provides a snapshot of how the inability of South Los Angeles residents to afford adequate housing, healthy foods, jobs and health insurance has led to an immeasurable degree of health and financial problems. UMMA has become a safe haven for those who need it most, many of whom would have no place else to go for health care.
