Welcome

to Shepherd’s Clinic, a unique non-profit orga­ni­za­tion providing quality, com­prehen­sive health care to Baltimore’s uninsured… helping people who are unable to afford com­mer­cial health insurance, yet do not qualify for govern­ment assistance.

• We opened our doors in 1991 to serve the health care needs of Baltimore’s uninsured, a popu­la­tion that too often doesn’t get care except for emergencies. Our mission has never changed.
• Our patients live within thirteen Baltimore City zip codes (geo­graphi­cally half of the city), their household incomes fall under 200% of poverty, and nearly all are working or live in a household with an employed individual.
• We are volunteer-driven. More than 350 volunteer phy­si­cians, nurses, and others provide our uninsured patients with a full continuum of caring, quality health care, from primary and specialty care to mental health and wellness services. Volun­teers receive a very rewarding expe­rience without time and billing pressures.
• Union Memorial Hospital provides diag­nos­tic, specialty, and surgical services for our patients at no cost.
• In 2009, we opened the Joy Wellness Center whose programs and therapies are designed spe­ci­fi­cally to create trans­for­ma­tive, healthy, life-affirming changes in the lives of our patients. 
• We are looking for addi­tio­nal patients and volunteers.
• We receive no govern­ment funds. We rely solely on the generous donations of our patients, indi­vi­dual donors, foun­da­tions, civic orga­ni­za­tions, corporations, and congregations. And yes, that means that we need your help. Please see our MAKE A DONATION button…and thanks!
