The Jewish Community Free Clinic (JCFC) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, free, volunteer medical clinic that draws on traditional Jewish concepts of tzedakah (justice/charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) to offer free medical care for anyone in need, without regard to ethnicity, race or religion. The Clinic's founders are clinicians working throughout the County's healthcare system. With nearly 100,000 uninsured in Marin and Sonoma counties, they felt they must take action regarding access to health care for the uninsured. The JCFC tapped volunteers' deeply rooted desire to carry on traditions of caring for the sick (known as bikkur cholim in Judaism) to found the Jewish Community Free Clinic.
