33. Dr. Ahmad Nooristani, Founder of the SLO Noor Foundation, on Creating a Medical Home for the Uninsured in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
What moves someone to found an organization that provides healthcare to the most vulnerable? How do you leverage relationships with healthcare providers to provide comprehensive care to patients? How do you sustain fundraising efforts all year long?
In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Dr. Ahman Nooristani, Founder of the SLO Noor Foundation and Savie Health Clinic. Dr. Nooristani introduces the Clinics, talks about why he founded these two organizations, and discusses how the Clinics are making an impact in their communities. Dr. Nooristani discusses:
- How he was moved to start the SLO Noor Foundation when he learned that 30% of the population in San Luis Obispo was uninsured.
- How the majority of his patients at the Clinic are middle-class individuals and families.
- The comprehensive nature of the Clinics. The Clinics offer medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, lab, physical therapy, and even surgery services to the uninsured.
- How he leverages donations to the Clinics with significant in-kind services.
- The fundraising challenges faced by the Clinics.
- The impact on an entire community when just one person gets sick and can’t get the health care they need.
