OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION

Gennesaret Free Clinics provides quality, accessible, and compassionate patient-centered healthcare for persons experiencing homelessness or lacking established healthcare. Seeking to serve, Gennesaret Free Clinics is a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, staff, and volunteers who treat all persons with dignity and respect.

OUR STORY

IT STARTED WITH A BOWL OF SOUP.

The idea for Gennesaret Free Clinics began in February 1988 when Dr. James A. Trippi, a local physician, was volunteering at a soup kitchen. As he watched the people receiving meals, most of whom were experiencing homelessness, move through the line, he began diagnosing their ailments in his head. When he asked if they had medical care, the response he heard was overwhelmingly, “no.”

Awakened to the need, Dr. Trippi packed his black bag and brought some of his colleagues together to provide treatment to the most vulnerable Hoosiers experiencing homelessness in our community. Gennesaret Free Clinics became the first nonprofit organization in Indianapolis to bring quality medical care to individuals regardless of insurance status or their ability to pay.

OUR VISION

OUR VISION

Since 1988, Gennesaret Free Clinics has annually served thousands of the most vulnerable individuals in the Indianapolis community, including those experiencing homelessness and living in poverty. Gennesaret is disrupting poverty in Marion County by bringing compassionate and patient-centered healthcare directly to those who need it the most at no cost.
