History
|
|
MHP sprouted independently in Seattle in 2013. Since then, we have been working to improve health education, mentorship, and service events in the Muslim community in Seattle. We host health fairs, free clinics, networking dinners, health talks, and mentorship programs by partnering with local masajid, community centers, and universities. In 2018, Muslim Health Professionals became a 501(c)3, multidisciplinary non-profit organization. We aspire to continue to improve the health of Muslims in the Puget Sound.
