About us
Healthcare as an act of service.
Five Pillars Free Clinic Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working with volunteers and partner providers to bring quality healthcare to people who are low income and uninsured in Orange and Osceola counties.
Our mission
To enhance access to Orange and Osceola county communities so that people who are low income and uninsured have access to quality healthcare.
Why we exist
Our founders saw healthcare becoming harder to reach for ordinary Americans. Helping humanity is a core principle of Islam, so they built a clinic where anyone without insurance can be seen, tested and treated at no cost.
Our name
Built on the five pillars of Islam.
1
Shahadah
The sincere declaration of faith.
2
Salat
Prayer, five times each day.

Charity for the poor and needy. The pillar this clinic lives by.
