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 DONATE NOW button…and thanks!
