About Us

Our mission is to demonstrate Christ’s love by compassionately providing free healthcare to those in need.

Our History

Grace Clinic opened in 2002, first seeing patients in the basement of a downtown Pasco church. Founded by two local physicians, our volunteer-driven clinic has grown to serve low-income, uninsured residents with medical, dental, and mental health care.

Since opening, we’ve provided more than 125,000 patient visits—offering vital services to those who have nowhere else to turn.

Today, an estimated 38,000 people in our community are uninsured, many working in jobs without health benefits. Grace Clinic continues to fill essential healthcare gaps for the underserved. Join us in this life-changing mission.

Our Goals

To provide high quality health care and referral service as we would desire care for ourselves and our loved ones
To look beyond the medical treatment of disease and to seek healing for the whole person in their physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions
To speak and to do that which is true and right in accord with moral and ethical principles in the Bible. We are committed to demonstrate integrity in our words and actions.
To uphold and defend the dignity and value of every human as created in God’s image. We are committed to love and respect all persons, regardless of a person’s religious beliefs and background.

Our Foundational Scripture

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” (Matthew 25:40)

Faith Statement

Grace Clinic Believes:

That the Bible is in the inspired Word of God.
That there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
That Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, He was born of the Virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life, and He was crucified for our sins and rose again.
That the most important thing in the entire world is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through faith in Him.

That a relationship with Christ comes only through God’s grace not by man’s effort.
That the Holy Spirit is living within the believer enabling him to live the Christian life.
That we should share the love of Jesus Christ with our patients and community as the Holy Spirit leads and provides opportunity.
