St. Catherine Laboure Medical Clinic

St. Catherine Laboure Medical Clinic is a non-profit community health clinic located in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1999, the clinic provides comprehensive primary medical care, chronic disease management, and patient advocacy services specifically for uninsured adults who do not qualify for government assistance. The facility focuses on treating conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and asthma while addressing the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of its patients. It operates primarily through volunteer efforts, foundation grants, and nominal patient fees to ensure affordable access to healthcare for the "working poor." The clinic is led by its co-founders, Dr. Sheila Davis and Michele Palos-Samsi, and is supported by partnerships with organizations like the Independence Blue Cross Foundation.
