HUDA Clinic: Our Story
HUDA Clinic first opened its doors in May 2004, initially operating on funds gathered by the Muslim community of Metro Detroit. Initially providing solely medical services, we have since expanded to include a full range of dental, podiatry, ophthalmology, and mental health services.
The HUDA team is constantly working to engage the local community, make the residents healthier, and prevent disease. We focus on educating our patients on important lifestyle interventions and vital health and nutritional information. Working with the community through health fairs and local events allows us to bring this information to more people.
We are thankful to our our patrons for helping us provide free healthcare to the Highland Park area.
It takes a great deal of financial support and manpower to offer the type of medical care, prescriptions, and resources we provide free of charge to our patients. We could not do what we do without generous support from our community. Please consider supporting the HUDA Clinic as we move forward in our mission to serve others and improve lives in the city of Detroit - donate today!
