St. Mary’s Health Clinics

St. Mary’s Health Clinics provides free medical care, outreach and education to low-income, uninsured families and individuals who are not eligible for government programs. SMHC was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Paul Province, (www.csjstpaul.org) upon the belief that healthcare is a basic human right. 

SMHC works with hundreds of compassionate, caring, and gifted volunteers. SMHC also conducts health promotion, health screening, health education, and outreach in collaboration with community organizations and advocates for healthcare as a basic human right while assisting low-income people to find affordable healthcare coverage.

SMHC provides direct care to uninsured and underinsured within the Twin Cities metropolitan area at community-based clinics. These clinics are located in spaces donated by churches, schools, and community centers in the metropolitan area.
