Oldest Free Clinic in America is Here in Detroit and Still Serving a Critical Need

St. Frances Cabrini Clinic—oldest free clinic in America, founded 1950 in Detroit. Wraparound care for uninsured adults regardless of immigration status. Bilingual volunteers.

Elisa Alvarez-Martinez understands the challenges immigrants face when searching for healthcare.

“I am an immigrant from Mexico,” said Alvarez-Martinez. “And I know firsthand how difficult it is to arrive to a country when you don’t know the system, you don’t know the language, and you don’t know where to go.” Alvarez-Martinez joined St. Frances Cabrini Clinic as executive director last year.

Located in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood, the clinic sits in a building that used to be a convent for Holy Trinity Church and school. Founded by Father Clement Kern in 1950, the goal of the clinic is to provide wraparound care to uninsured adults, regardless of immigration status. Those who qualify for Medicaid are helped through the application process with an on staff social worker.

The clinic’s funding comes from donations. Donors include Dispensary of Hope, Americares, and Direct Relief.

“You have to knock on doors all the time and you never know what you’re going to get,” said Director Alvarez-Martinez about the donations that aren’t always monetary, such as the medicine refrigerator that sits in the clinic’s pharmacy donated by Henry Ford Hospital. It is used for insulin which is vital for diabetes care. Diabetes has a high prevalence in the Hispanic community. A 2024 study by the Office of Minority Health through the United States Department of Health and Human Services found that Hispanic adults are 13% more likely to have diabetes than their non-Hispanic counterparts.

“The system at Cabrini is a complete look at the patient, from psychology to the physiological, and of course, medicine dispensing,” said Alma Vara, medical assistant coordinator at Cabrini Clinic.

Mary Serowoky, a nurse practitioner who has volunteered at Cabrini Clinic for over 15 years, knows just how interconnected all of these services are.

“We hope people feel at home here and have all of their wellness needs taken care of, including spiritual, physical, psychological, social,” Serwoky said. 

“Doctors here can spend an hour with you if necessary. We are not counting the minutes or the time that you are here,” Alvarez-Martinez said, emphasizing the importance of wraparound care. “If you feel sad because you don’t have a job, we want to send you to the social worker to try to help you to find a job. But also, with low sugar we’re going to send you to the doctor. And you have therapy. We try to keep everything together.”

Serowoky and Vara are two of the 77 volunteers that make up the staff, most of whom are bilingual. Lindsay Israil, for example, has volunteered as a medical assistant at the clinic for three years; she speaks English, Spanish, Arabic, and Aramaic.

“Every time we get a new patient, you can see the weight lifted off their shoulders,” Israil said. “Not only that they’re being provided care, but that we speak the same language.”

Wayne State University pharmacy students Ruba Rizvi, Norah Tracey, Katrina McNeilly, and Rachel Marcotte at Cabrini Clinic.

Within the clinic, there are programs such as Project Hope, which is for pregnant mothers. The program provides clothes and diapers until their babies are one-year old.

“We hope that the moms don’t feel alone in the pregnancy,” Alvarez-Martinez said.

The clinic has six examination rooms, a centrifuge and lab pickup by a local hospital who processes the lab tests. The help comes in many forms. A donor from California provides the orange prescription bottles. Grants provide money for equipment such as laptops for patient intakes and pharmacy processing. Some grants help with operational costs such as utilities. The clinic has begun to provide occupational therapy, and podiatry. Soon, they will begin to offer dermatology.

In light of recent federal changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by Republicans and signed by President Trump in 2025, fewer people may qualify for Medicaid. This would create a bigger strain on the clinic’s resources.

“We would like to be open more days a week. But the problem is not only to see the people, but also that you need more medicines, that you need more tubes, you need more hours and doctors,”  Alvarez-Martinez said.

If the clinic wants to operate on a larger scale and expand hours and services for the possible surge of patients, more resources are needed. That’s where Tom Wilkinson comes in. As the developmental coordinator, he oversees the clinic’s fundraising efforts.

As volunteer and donor coordinator Sister Mary Jane Lubinski puts it, fundraising and community support is vital to make sure that among those most in need, “no one goes without care.”

Alvarez-Martinez asked Wilkinson to come on board and the idea of the upcoming 2026 gala was formed. The clinic recently underwent administrative transition. Wilkinson describes it as “starting from scratch” with donor files.

“It’s a fun challenge because of the team. It’s a tremendous team here. There’s no loose wheels. Everybody jumps in,” said Wilkinson.

He is hopeful that the online auction will be enough draw for donors looking for a powerful cause. The Gala event will take place at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth on October 15, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. Gala tickets are currently available on the new Cabrini Clinic website at www.cabrini-clinic.org. See also the promotional flyer on this page. 

To access patient services at the Cabrini Clinic, walk-ins are accepted but appointments are encouraged and can be made by calling (313) 961-7863. Regular business hours are Tuesday  12noon – 7pm, Wednesday 1 – 6pm and Thursday 12noon – 7pm.

La clínica gratuita más antigua de Estados Unidos está aquí en Detroit y sigue atendiendo una necesidad crítica

Elisa Álvarez-Martínez entiende los desafíos que enfrentan los inmigrantes al buscar atención médica.

«Soy una inmigrante de México», dijo Álvarez-Martínez. «Y sé de primera mano lo difícil que es llegar a un país cuando no conoces el sistema, no hablas el idioma y no sabes a dónde ir». Álvarez-Martínez asumió el cargo de directora ejecutiva de la Clínica St. Frances Cabrini el año pasado.

Ubicada en el barrio Corktown de Detroit, la clínica opera en un edificio que solía ser el convento de la iglesia y escuela Holy Trinity. Fundada por el padre Clement Kern en 1950, el objetivo de la clínica es brindar atención médica integral a adultos sin seguro médico, independientemente de su estatus migratorio. A quienes califican para Medicaid, una trabajadora social del equipo los guía y ayuda durante el proceso de solicitud.

El financiamiento de la clínica proviene en su totalidad de donaciones. Entre sus colaboradores se encuentran organizaciones como Dispensary of Hope, Americares y Direct Relief.

«Tienes que tocar puertas todo el tiempo y nunca sabes qué vas a recibir», comentó la directora Álvarez-Martínez respecto a las donaciones que no siempre son monetarias, como el refrigerador para medicamentos ubicado en la farmacia de la clínica, donado por el Hospital Henry Ford. Este equipo se utiliza para almacenar insulina, un recurso vital para el tratamiento de la diabetes. Esta condición tiene una alta prevalencia en la comunidad hispana: un estudio de 2024 de la Oficina para la Salud de las Minorías del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de EE. UU. reveló que los adultos hispanos tienen un 13 % más de probabilidades de padecer diabetes que sus contrapartes no hispanos.

«El sistema en Cabrini ofrece una mirada completa al paciente, desde lo psicológico hasta lo fisiológico y, por supuesto, la entrega de medicamentos», afirmó Alma Vara, coordinadora de asistentes médicos de la Clínica Cabrini.

Mary Serowoky, una enfermera especializada (nurse practitioner) que ha colaborado como voluntaria en la clínica durante más de 15 años, sabe muy bien lo interconectados que están todos estos servicios.

«Esperamos que las personas se sientan como en casa aquí y que se atiendan todas sus necesidades de bienestar, incluyendo las espirituales, físicas, psicológicas y sociales», expresó Serowoky.

«Los médicos aquí pueden dedicarte una hora si es necesario. No estamos contando los minutos ni el tiempo que pasas aquí», enfatizó Álvarez-Martínez al resaltar la importancia de la atención integral. «Si te sientes triste porque no tienes trabajo, queremos remitirte con la trabajadora social para intentar ayudarte a encontrar empleo. Pero también, si tienes el azúcar bajo, te enviamos al médico. Y tienes terapia. Tratamos de mantener todo unido».

Serowoky y Vara forman parte de los 77 voluntarios que integran el personal, la mayoría de los cuales son bilingües. Lindsay Israil, por ejemplo, ha sido voluntaria como asistente médica en la clínica durante tres años y habla inglés, español, árabe y arameo.

«Cada vez que recibimos a un paciente nuevo, se nota cómo se le quita un peso de encima», relató Israil. «No solo por recibir atención médica, sino porque hablamos su mismo idioma».

Dentro de la clínica existen programas como Project Hope (Proyecto Esperanza), dirigido a mujeres embarazadas. El programa les proporciona ropa y pañales hasta que sus bebés cumplen un año de edad.

«Esperamos que las mamás no se sientan solas durante el embarazo», dijo Álvarez-Martínez.

La clínica cuenta con seis salas de examen, una centrífuga y servicio de recolección de laboratorio por parte de un hospital local que procesa los análisis. La ayuda llega de múltiples formas: un donante de California proporciona los frascos naranjas para medicamentos recetados; las subvenciones aportan fondos para adquirir equipos como computadoras portátiles para el registro de pacientes y la gestión de la farmacia, además de apoyar con costos operativos como los servicios públicos. Recientemente, la clínica comenzó a ofrecer terapia ocupacional y podología, y pronto sumará la especialidad de dermatología.

A la luz de los recientes cambios federales bajo la Ley One Big Beautiful Bill[i], aprobada por los republicanos y firmada por el presidente Trump en 2025, menos personas podrían calificar para Medicaid. Esto generaría una mayor presión sobre los recursos de la clínica.

«Nos gustaría abrir más días a la semana. Pero el problema no es solo atender a las personas, sino también que se necesitan más medicamentos, más tubos de ensayo, más horas y más médicos», explicó Álvarez-Martínez.

Miguel Ríos es estudiante de periodismo en la Universidad de Michigan-Dearborn y pasante en EL CENTRAL Hispanic News.

Si la clínica desea operar a mayor escala y ampliar sus horarios y servicios ante el posible aumento de pacientes, se necesitarán más recursos. Ahí es donde entra Tom Wilkinson, quien, como coordinador de desarrollo, supervisa los esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos del centro.

Como señala la hermana Mary Jane Lubinski, coordinadora de voluntarios y donantes, la recaudación de fondos y el apoyo comunitario son vitales para garantizar que, entre los más necesitados, «nadie se quede sin atención».

Álvarez-Martínez le pidió a Wilkinson que se sumara al equipo, y así nació la idea de la próxima gala de 2026. La clínica pasó recientemente por una transición administrativa, lo cual Wilkinson describe como «empezar de cero» con los archivos de donantes.

«Es un reto divertido debido al equipo. Hay un equipo tremendo aquí. No hay piezas sueltas; todo el mundo le entra al trabajo», comentó Wilkinson.

Wilkinson confía en que la subasta en línea sea un gran atractivo para los donantes que buscan apoyar una causa de impacto. La Gala se llevará a cabo en el Saint John’s Resort en Plymouth el 15 de octubre de 2026 a las 5:30 p.m. Los boletos para la gala ya están disponibles en el nuevo sitio web de la Clínica Cabrini: www.cabrini-clinic.org. Consulte también el folleto promocional en esta página.

Para acceder a los servicios para pacientes en la Clínica Cabrini, se atienden personas sin cita previa, aunque se recomienda programar una cita llamando al (313) 961-7863. El horario habitual de atención es:

  • Martes: 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
  • Miércoles: 1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
  • Jueves: 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
