Primary Care Service

Dr. Pravin Mehta

Medical Director

Since 1994, the IAMACF Free Clinic has provided essential medical care to underserved and underinsured individuals, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background. The clinic offers primary care, women’s health services, laboratory testing, medications, specialty care, and other vital health services to patients who might otherwise have limited access to affordable medical care.

Over the past year, IAMACF has significantly expanded its services and capacity. With the addition of a Nurse Practitioner and Medical Assistant, clinic operations have increased by three additional days each week. Women’s health services have expanded from once to twice monthly, physical therapy services have been introduced in collaboration with Northwestern University, and a partnership with Pharmacy of Hope is helping broaden access to medications. During FY2025, the clinic served 1,958 patients, including 470 new patients, provided medications to 456 patients, and performed 789 laboratory tests.

Many of our patients live with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disease, and high cholesterol. Through the dedication of our physicians, medical students, staff, volunteers, community partners, and generous supporters, IAMACF helps these patients receive ongoing care, better manage their health, and reduce the risk of serious complications, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations.

As we look ahead, our goal is to serve even more patients and continue expanding the range of services, medications, and specialty care available through the IAMACF Free Clinic. We sincerely thank our volunteers, donors, partners, and supporters for making this work possible. Your continued involvement and generosity allow us to provide compassionate, accessible healthcare to those in our community who need it most.
