UNIVERSAL HERITAGE INSTITUTE INC

Providing telemedicine and health care to the underserved and uninsured including aggregating resources regarding the COVID-19 relief.

The UHI CommunityCare Clinic provides free healthcare services to nearly 600 low-income, uninsured individuals each month. UHI’s objective is to provide access to free healthcare for the vulnerable, impoverished, and underserved population in South Florida. Focusing on families at or below 200% of the poverty level and who do not qualify for Medicaid or medicare, UHI provides a wide range of medical services that would otherwise not be accessible to the individuals served. Without UHI, these uninsured residents’ only option would be turning to emergency rooms for non-emergent care, at a great cost to themselves and the healthcare system.

The UHI CommunityCare Clinic provides primary and specialty healthcare services for adults and children throughout South Florida. Primary care services are available Monday through Friday and half the day on Saturdays, while specialty care services are offered in sessions occurring once each month. Specialty areas include Gynecology, Psychiatry, Allergies and Immunology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Hematology, Oncology, Pulmonology, as well as Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy and Pain Management (by referral). In addition, UHI recently began offering Optometry care once per week, including doctor visits, prescriptions for glasses, free glasses, and ophthalmologist check-ups.
