The Ibn Sina Foundation was established in 2001 by a group of local physicians, business and healthcare professionals. The vision was to bridge the growing gap between the health care needs of a rapidly expanding population of undeserved families and the ability of existing public institutions to meet their needs.
Ibn Sina’s humble beginnings are of extra ordinary measures for low income and indigent families who have no access to health care and can not afford expensive health related services. The Foundation started with one part time staff for 4 hours
in 2001 who was paid through borrowed funding from a donor. Currently there are more than 50 staff members raising budget to $4 million in 2011. Over the period of 10 years the Foundation has served more than 195,000 patients and we anticipate serving more than 60,000 patients this year.
Ibn Sina has completed many projects and programs successfully with public and private partnership. These programs are sustainable and are affordable. Ibn Sina’s community health model is easily replicated through available community resources, leadership and courage.
The Foundation’s mission is to ensure the health of the community by providing integrated, preventive and primary care in a clinical setting through the dissemination and application of health related knowledge, thereby enhancing the quality of life for future generations.
Ibn Sina focuses on prevention and control of diseases at early stage. The Objectives of Ibn Sina are very specific to improve quality of life, enhance life expectancy and increase chances of survival for underprivileged and uninsured patients.
