  4. Goals • 1. Establishing a clinic to provide patient-centered primary care for the underserved with referral to speciality care and hospital charity care.

  7. With this platform we hope to cultivate a shared culture of care and action for community building in Philadelphia.

  8. What we’ve accomplished thus far: • Established a dedicated core team. • Analyzed pre-existing clinic models. • Assessed areas of need and identified a target population in Philadelphia. • Designed a Health Needs Assessment

  11. Area of Need in Philadelphia • Based on Dr. Mustafa’s needs assessment and additional research we’ve chosen Northeast Philly as our target area. It has a large indigent community in need of health care. • This area contains approximately 6 Islamic community centers/mosques. • Our aim is to serve the community in need with the support of these institutions.

  12. Muslim Community Health Needs Assessment • To be presented to contacts in the six mosques. • Contains questions regarding the health and social needs of the community, existing services provided by the institution, and the potential for collaboration and support.
