About the Clinic

In the mid-1990s, St. Dominic’s recognized the need to provide healthcare services for the homeless and working poor of Jackson’s inner city. Through close ties with Stewpot Community Services and the Central Urban Ministry Center, St. Dominic’s Community Clinic was established to serve those who cannot afford basic medical care.
