About Us

How Did It all Begin?

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 medial treatment. Hence, the Light Of The World Clinic was founded.

Since it’s opening, with the help of hundreds of volunteer doctors, specialists and non-medical professionals, the clinic has helped more than a quarter million deserving, but unable-to-pay patients.

What Do We Do?

The clinic reaches out to residential areas where there are at-risk residents and provides them monthly, quarterly and annual community-based health screenings and quality health care services in a sensitive manner without regard to ethnic origin or ability to pay.

By providing free medical visits and services to the underserved and at-risk community, the clinic provides early medical intervention by treating them and stabilizing their hypertension, diabetes, coronary disease, obesity and other widespread diseases.
