UMMA Community Clinic

What UMMA Community Clinic does

UMMA Health (legal entity: University Muslim Medical Association, INC) is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Huntington Park, California, operating a network of seven clinics and wellness centers across South Los Angeles and San Bernardino plus the Figueroa Care Center urgent care facility. Founded in 1999 and inspired by Islamic values of community service, the organization provides comprehensive primary care, urgent care, dental care, behavioral health, women's health and prenatal care, pediatric care, immunizations, chronic disease management, and medication management to underserved, low-income, uninsured, and immigrant populations regardless of ability to pay. Bilingual and trilingual staff (English, Spanish, Arabic) support culturally competent care delivery, and the organization also runs community programs such as the Fremont Food Fair (which has distributed over 2 million pounds of produce), Project RENEW, the UMMA Teen Clinic, Centering Programs, and an Integrated Care Program.

The technology stack is conventional for an FQHC: an eClinicalWorks-based Electronic Health Record/Patient Portal supports appointment scheduling, medication management, and after-hours nurse line access, with integration into HRSA systems for quality reporting and FQHC compliance tracking. There are no disclosed AI/ML, API, or SDK capabilities, and the technology footprint is centered on operational and regulatory interoperability rather than proprietary platform development.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across four streams: Section 330 federal grant funding (a baseline operating subsidy), Medicaid/Medicare FQHC encounter-rate reimbursements, sliding-fee patient payments indexed to federal poverty guidelines, and charitable donations via a donation portal and capital campaigns. The organization also lists an upcoming Endowment Fund. Patient acquisition is community-led — word-of-mouth referrals, school-based programs, neighborhood wellness centers, the Fremont Food Fair, and free insurance enrollment assistance — with marketing supported through Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, the UMMA Lifeline newsletter, and the corporate website. UMMA has earned multiple HRSA recognitions including Health Center Quality Leader, National Quality Leader, Advancing Health IT for Quality, Preventive Health, and Improving Health Care Access awards, plus Patient-Centered Medical Home certification from The Joint Commission.
