Twenty years as the Interfaith Medical Clinic, and what came next
For more than two decades, the Interfaith Medical Clinic brought accessible healthcare to uninsured neighbors in this community, no matter their circumstances. Generations received care there: young and old, people managing chronic illness, and families finding support in their most vulnerable moments. It left a lasting mark, through the physical care it gave and the trust it built.
In 2024, the Interfaith Medical Clinic became the Marked For Life Medical Center. The name and leadership changed. The heart of the mission did not: serve those in need with dignity, respect, and compassion. The transition brought renewed energy and expanded vision, building on the foundation laid over the past 20 years, with more services and resources for healing and the same faith-based approach.
We are grateful to everyone who was part of the Interfaith Medical Clinic: patients, staff, donors, and volunteers who believed in its mission and who now support the Marked For Life Medical Center.
