“I thank St. John Bosco Clinic for the invaluable help they have offered me and my family through their generosity without any cost to us. Health has such an impact on all people and for those of us who seek care at the clinic we are grateful for the care, the understanding, the patience and the support the clinic and its personnel and volunteers offer us with courtesy and dedication.”
"I feel that a lot of people helped me get to where I am today so it is only right that I help others in the best way possible. It energizes me to work with a group of motivated individuals focused on how to improve the health of others."

“God bless the clinic and all those who work behind the scenes and through their financial support, time and effort without expecting anything in return make this possible…blessings.”
“South Florida’s immigrant population is the backbone of our community. This important group is underserved and underrepresented. The St John Bosco Clinic gives me the opportunity to support an organization that helps care for our neighbors in need by providing lifesaving healthcare at no cost to them.”

St. John Bosco Clinic

At St. John Bosco Clinic those served have different life stories, faces, and nationalities. They are the young, old, working poor and the unemployed, but they share one very similar need; the need for healthcare and difficulty meeting that need for themselves and their families. St. John Bosco Clinic is solely funded through the generosity of our community partners, and philanthropic individuals, corporations, and foundations that recognize the great need in our community and the true difference their support can make.

During a most difficult and challenging year with the COVID19 pandemic disproportionately impacting many of those we serve, The St. John Bosco Clinic continued to provide care by incorporating telemedicine and new processes to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
