Monen Healthcare Clinic
Lack of insurance, financial hardship, language barriers, and even transportation can make it impossible to access the healthcare that families need. The Monen Healthcare Clinic at Heart Ministry Center provides free, quality services to treat routine illnesses, alleviate pain, and perform testing for common ailments. Our providers are dedicated to ensuring a continuum of trusted, compassionate care.
The Monen Healthcare Clinic is one of the only facilities in the community to offer free healthcare services. In 2024, the Clinic provided services to more than 6,000 patients, saving community members over $1,000,000 in medical expenses.
