Our story
Started by two high-school students during COVID.
Two Northern California high-school students, searching for a way to serve during the pandemic, open the first free clinic at the El Sobrante Gurdwara Sahib — first Sunday of every month, doctors donating their time, volunteers running the floor.
The clinic becomes a rhythm: monthly clinic days, hundreds of registered patients, and a growing bench of physicians, dentists, and student volunteers.
SHN scales to seven clinic locations with a HIPAA-compliant EMR, adds dental and mental-health clinic days, and builds the free "clinic kit" so any community can replicate the model.
SHN partners with the City of Fresno and the Mayor's Office on the #OneFresno initiative — 14 med students, 10 volunteers, and 4 physicians delivering free screenings in a single day — and crosses 70 free clinics held nationwide.
A growing national network of doctors, students, and sevadars — with technology, partnerships, and a vision: a free clinic in every community that needs one.
