Our mission

Providing culturally competent, trauma-informed medical and mental health care for all under-resourced populations to thrive, serving immigrant communities at our core.

Our work

The SCIRC is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), multicultural, multilingual, community based and run organization dedicated to providing culturally competent, trauma-informed medical and mental health care for all under-resourced populations to thrive, serving immigrant communities at our core. Our home base is in San Diego, California.

Emerging as a direct action response to a need for underserved Arab-American & Muslim-American immigrant families and individuals in the San Diego area to have care free of charge, in their native languages, with culturally aware providers, we have rapidly and thoughtfully expanded with the same commitments to answer the urgent call to provide our newly arrived Ukrainian immigrants with the same high level medical and mental health care.

We have grown from grassroots volunteer and pro bono caregivers, including doctors, pharmacies, immigration legal counsel, and mental health therapists to a full service organization clients grow with and flourish.
