Mission Statement
The mission of the Muslim Community Center for Human Services (MCCHS) is to build strong families and harmonious communities by providing no-cost or affordable health care, social services, and educational prevention and intervention services to underserved persons, regardless of religion, ethnicity, race or place of residence. MCCHS defines “underserved persons” as individuals or families who are uninsured or underinsured and who face barriers to accessing support due to language or cultural differences.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Al-Shifa Clinic website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
