In 1989, the late Dr. Erwin M. Vasquez and other community leaders recognized that too many Broward County residents were not receiving the type of healthcare they needed…and deserved…because they couldn’t afford the treatment or the insurance needed to cover their medical needs.
With that understanding, it became their mission to start a clinic where no one would be turned away based upon their inability to pay for proper medical treatment. Hence, the Light of the World Clinic was founded!
Since its opening, with the help of hundreds of volunteer doctors, specialists and non-medical professionals, the clinic has helped more than a quarter of a million deserving, but unable-to-pay patients.
Because we are a private 501c3 organization, we rely on fundraising and the generosity of private donors, foundations, corporations, local cities and individuals who believe in the work we do for our most at-risk residents who need our services but can’t afford quality healthcare.
