Description

Ibn Sina Foundation?s Mission of Serving Those in Need The Ibn Sina Foundation, a non-profit organization that operates six clinics throughout Houston and Port Arthur, Texas, is taking the lead in providing Medical and Dental services for those in need as the cornerstone of the Foundation?s mission. With clinics located at 11226 South Wilcrest Drive, 5012 North Shepherd Drive, 16345 South Post Oak Road, and a new Children's Clinic opening April 28 at 11220 South Wilcrest Drive, all in Houston, as well as clinics at 15132 Old Galveston Road in Clear Lake and 8599 9th Avenue in Port Arthur, Texas, the Foundation has several programs that serve children up to age 21 as well as adults. The public is invited to celebrate the new, state-of-the-art Children's Clinic, located at 11220 South Wilcrest Drive, Houston, TX, 77099, on Saturday, April 16 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. A petting zoo, bounce house, entertainment, radio remote with prizes, giveaways, raffles for free clinic services, food, snacks, and lots of fun will be in store for children, as well as free medical services. While providing services for more than a decade, Ibn Sina Foundation has served more than 25,000 children with primary care issues. The Foundation?s Healthy Kids Program that is currently in operation provides free access to health care services for those who have no other avenue to obtain quality care. This mission is being expanded with the opening of the new Children?s Clinic adjacent to the Ibn Sina Foundation Medical Clinic at 11226 South Wilcrest, Houston. The current clinics provide many free and low-cost services to the communities which Ibn Sina Foundation serves. Free and low-cost medical care is provided to children up to age 21 who are uninsured or are members of low-income working families in the area. The clinics provide service to those with no insurance, CHIP, Medicare, Medicaid and major insurance PPOs. Ibn Sina Foundation also helps non-citizens as well as U.S. citizens. These services are provided through the Healthy Kids Program, the Primary Health Care Program and the Expanded Primary Health Care Program, with funds from the State of Texas. Among the services that are being provided are well child exams, sick visits, school physicals, sports physical, immunizations, family planning services, gynecology visits, EKG tests, Well Woman exams, Well Man exams, medical consultations, prescriptions, x-rays, and laboratory tests, as well as dental checkups, dental cleanings, dental fillings, extractions, and root canals. Our mission of serving those in need includes the tireless efforts of many highly qualified doctors, nurses, medical assistants, dentists and dental assistants, some of whom generously donate their time to the Ibn Sina Foundation?s work. The goal of the Ibn Sina Foundation is to help eliminate or significantly reduce health issues in the local communities of its area of service. Among the health issues are cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and others. For example, Ibn Sina Foundation?s diabetes prevention and control program?s goals are: increasing early identification of those at high risk of developing diabetes, providing education, promoting behavioral changes that prevent complications, increasing early diagnosis and helping patients manage the disease. If patients are unable to pay the very low minimal fee for medical services, special arrangements and exceptions can be made to serve them. By building valued customer relations, Ibn Sina Foundation works diligently to educate its patients about the importance of Medical and Dental care. The non-profit organization provides educational sessions on topics ranging from respiratory diseases to proper diet and nutrition.
