“In the belief that we should do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God, The Judeo Christian Health Clinic provides free, quality, timely and compassionate health care to medically indigent residents of the Tampa Bay area who have no other resources for their health care needs.”
The Clinic began in 1972 to serve the needs of those who are uninsured and who cannot afford to see a doctor privately. Reverend Jim Holmes, our founder, began the Clinic with the hopes of providing access to quality and compassionate healthcare. Clinic patients do not qualify for government funded program like the Hillsborough County Healthcare Program, Medicaid or Medicare. Most patients have income’s that fall between 100% and 200% of Federal Poverty Level. This small amount of income is not enough to afford private health insurance. They are considered the working poor. Thousands of people in Tampa Bay are left without access to healthcare and feel hopeless. The Judeo Christian Health Clinic provided hope and access to healthcare and recorded just under 30,000 patient visits last year alone.
To date, there are 52 Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles (RMCMs) worldwide, including three in Florida. The Tampa Bay RMCM is unique in that it is one of the few that is part of the educational program for training residents, medical and nursing students. By providing care in underserved and vulnerable communities, the trainees are exposed to cultural diversity and sensitivity.
