Finding Shifa Free Clinic’s official patient information in Charleston

Shifa Free Clinic in the Charleston area provides a specific example of Muslim charitable organization supporting access to healthcare. In March 2024, the South Carolina House recognized founder Dr. Reshma Khan and the clinic's work through ICNA Relief USA. For someone seeking the service, however, a recognition resolution is only the background. The clinic's own patient information is the place to begin.

Start with the application page

ICNA Relief's Shifa patient page organizes its requirements around identification, income and address documentation. The practical step is to read the current instructions before gathering paperwork or traveling. Ask the clinic about anything that does not clearly fit your circumstances.

The official site lists a Charleston location at 668 Marina Drive, Suite A-5, and a local contact number of 843-352-4580 when checked on November 14, 2026. Confirm the address, appointment arrangements and requested service directly. A contact listing is not confirmation of eligibility, an appointment or availability of a particular clinician.

Understand what the historical record establishes

The 2024 House resolution connects Shifa with care for uninsured people and describes Khan's work at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center before and during the clinic's development. It recognizes both medical service and organizational leadership.

That record explains why the clinic matters in South Carolina's public history. It does not replace the provider's assessment of a prospective patient's eligibility or establish what every service looks like today. Our separate founder profile follows Khan's career in more detail.

Prepare a clear inquiry

Before contacting the clinic, identify whether you are asking about becoming a patient, an existing appointment or volunteering. Keep sensitive personal documents for the provider's designated process rather than sending them to a general third-party directory.

For a first inquiry, ask how applications are submitted, what documents are needed and how the clinic communicates the next step. If you need language assistance, ask what arrangements are available. These questions help you understand the process without assuming the outcome.

For readers interested in community contributions rather than services, the useful distinction is between founding an institution and maintaining access to it. A clinic needs an application process, trained people and continuing coordination alongside the original idea. Shifa's official information provides a route to that practical side of the story.
