FREE MEDICAL CARE

If Jesus were to physically step into our culture today, as He did 2000 years ago, what do you think he would do?
In Jesus Name Medical Ministry (IJN) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was established in 2009. We partner Christian doctors and local churches to provide free medical care to the community. Clinics are held once a month and are available FREE of cost to anyone with medical needs.
Our mission is to treat the body as God transforms the soul!
Our History
In Jesus Name Medical Ministry (IJN) was founded by Dr. Scott Southard in the Northern Nevada and California area more than 14 years ago and has since facilitated more than 175 clinics, cared for over 4,700 patients, and has been able to provide approximately 80 surgeries for people at no cost.
Dr. Southard has the vision to expand the ministry nationally to as many cities as possible in the United States. Las Vegas is the second location and had its first clinic in March 2019.
WHAT WE DO
Once a month, our team heads out to a host church or organization somewhere in the region where we set up a FREE medical clinic for the day. We usually bring 15-20 medical and non-medical volunteers, and in partnership with volunteers from the church, we transform the designated building space into a temporary medical clinic for the day. Multiple physicians from various specialties are often available including Family Practice, Orthopedic, Pediatrics, Allergy, Internal Medicine, Optometry, etc. In some locations, we bring a mobile X-ray unit.
All our medical and administrative personnel involved with the ministry are volunteers who are professing Christians who use their God given gifts in serving The Lord. They are each acting in accordance with the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:40 when He said:
“… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of
mine, you did for me”
WHY WE DO IT
We do it because we care like Jesus cares. His love for others resides in us. We live out the compassion as He would.
IJN clinics provide FREE medical services to vulnerable individuals and families who go without quality medical care. Individuals who come to us for help are seen without consideration of their financial status, station in life, nationality, or faith. They are seen on a first-come, first-served basis, and are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect, just as Jesus would treat them.
WHO IS IT FOR?
This FREE service is for anyone in need, for people with insufficient healthcare coverage (either insured, underinsured, or no insurance at all).
