About the Foundation
Our Mission
To provide compassionate and philanthropic support for the health care ministry of St. John Bosco Clinic to the uninsured and underserved in the Miami-Dade community.
Our Vision
To preserve the enduring presence of St. John Bosco Clinic in Miami-Dade County as long as there are underserved children and adults without access to healthcare.
St. John Bosco Clinic
At St. John Bosco Clinic those served have different life stories, faces, and nationalities. They are the young, old, working poor and the unemployed, but they share one very similar need; the need for healthcare and difficulty meeting that need for themselves and their families. St. John Bosco Clinic is solely funded through the generosity of our community partners, and philanthropic individuals, corporations, and foundations that recognize the great need in our community and the true difference their support can make.

In Their Own Words
“Volunteering is such a rewarding experience, it feeds the soul! I am privileged to be a part of the dedicated group of volunteers at the clinic. Witnessing the remarkable work of the clinic and how it impacts those we help is what keeps me motivated to continue my volunteer service.”
Terri Menendez
St. John Bosco Clinic Volunteer
“South Florida's immigrant population is the backbone of our community. This important group is underserved and underrepresented. The St John Bosco Clinic gives me the opportunity to support an organization that helps care for our neighbors in need by providing lifesaving healthcare at no cost to them.”
Angela Puentes-Leon
SSJ Health Foundation Board of Directors Secretary
“I support St John Bosco Clinic in its mission to care for those most vulnerable in our community. Respecting the dignity of those most in need, and the right to basic healthcare, builds a community marked with hope and justice and humanity.”
