Al- Aqsa Community Clinic

What Al- Aqsa Community Clinic does

Al-Aqsa Community Clinic is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-run free clinic founded in February 2009 by Amal Khdour and a group of local women in Burlington, North Carolina. The clinic provides free primary and multi-specialty healthcare to uninsured patients in the Triad area who do not qualify for Medicare, Medicaid, NC Health Choice, or Veterans' Benefits and whose household income does not exceed 200% of the Federal poverty level. Eligibility is administered through a Yellow Card qualification program. Since founding, the clinic has treated more than 5,000 patients with a team of 40+ volunteer medical professionals.

The clinic's core service offerings include acute care, long-term chronic illness management (diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism), laboratory services, in-house electrocardiograms (EKGs), specialty referrals to outside clinics at discounted cost, adult and pediatric care, and multilingual interpretation in Arabic, Urdu, Spanish, and French. Technology is limited to a website with an online appointment request form, payment integrations for donations (Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, Stripe), and a Google Maps location embed. Operating hours are restricted to the first and third Saturday of each month, by appointment only, at a single physical site at 1908 S. Mebane St., Burlington, NC.

The business model is donation-driven: services are free to qualifying patients, and all operating costs are covered by tax-deductible community contributions and a small set of named sponsors (Hope Sponsorship, TotalCare, High Point University). Because the clinic is 100% volunteer-run with no paid clinical staff, scaling is constrained by volunteer recruitment, sponsorship growth, and operating-day capacity rather than conventional revenue mechanics. Recent specialist provider additions in gastroenterology and pain medicine signal incremental service-line expansion within the existing footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Cone Health: Major regional health system headquartered in Greensboro, NC serving the Triad area with hospitals and ambulatory services including charity care. A potential institutional partner and likely recipient of Al-Aqsa's specialty referrals given geographic proximity.
• UNC Health: The dominant academic regional health system serving the Triad and broader North Carolina with hospitals and physician practices. While not free-care focused, UNC Health operates charity care programs, community clinics, and is a likely referral partner for Al-Aqsa's specialty referrals.

Direct peers

• NC MedAssist: A North Carolina charitable pharmacy and free clinic operator providing free medications and healthcare services to uninsured residents statewide. Closely comparable charity-care model with overlapping patient demographics; represents an adjacent free-care services provider rather than direct geographic competitor.
• Piedmont Health Services: A regional FQHC serving the Triad area and surrounding NC counties with comprehensive primary care for uninsured and underinsured patients. Closest comparability — same geography, same mission, but operates as a federal-funded FQHC with multiple sites, larger capacity, and sliding-scale fees rather than free care.
• Open Door Clinic of Alamance County: A Burlington-adjacent free clinic serving uninsured residents of Alamance County — the same county as Al-Aqsa. Directly overlaps in target geography, patient profile, and free-charity care model, representing the most proximate direct competitor for uninsured patients.
• Project Access of Durham County: A coordinated charity-care network in NC that organizes specialty referrals and primary care for uninsured low-income residents. Operates a similar safety-net model to Al-Aqsa, leveraging volunteer physician networks to deliver free care, and is comparable as a model prototype.

Regional players

• Good Samaritan Clinic (NC): A free charitable clinic serving uninsured residents of other NC counties (e.g., Haywood County). Same free-clinic model with volunteer professionals serving underserved populations; comparable as a regional peer demonstrating the free clinic model in NC.
• HealthNet Gaston: A community health center serving uninsured and underinsured residents of Gaston County, NC with free primary care services. Comparable mission and patient population though in a different NC geography; useful as a model for scaling Al-Aqsa's approach to other NC communities.

Others

• National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics: The national trade association representing free and charitable clinics across the US. While not a direct peer, NAFC represents the broader ecosystem Al-Aqsa belongs to and would be a key institutional partner for advocacy, training, and grant access relevant to Al-Aqsa's operations.
• Volunteers in Medicine: A national network of free clinics organized around the model of volunteer medical professionals serving uninsured populations. The umbrella/national organization, useful as a peer because Al-Aqsa embodies the same volunteer-clinic thesis; could provide replication playbook or affiliation.
