What is The Saban Free Clinic?
The Saban Free Clinic, formerly The Los Angeles Free Clinic, in collaboration with strategic partners, serves as a medical home for the underserved and those who are most vulnerable by providing comprehensive, dependable and affordable quality healthcare in a caring environment. Founded in 1967, on the principle that health care is a right and not a privilege, The Saban Free Clinic is the oldest, continuously operating free clinic in the United States.  The Clinic has evolved from a single storefront on Fairfax Avenue, to four sites, in some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city.  It is a safety net for the uninsured, the homeless, runaway teens and the working poor, who have no other access to health care.  This year the Clinic will provide 90,000 patient visits to the people that need them the most.
