Imani, a Swahili word meaning “faith,” was selected both for the African philosophy of community embodied in the 7 principles of Kwanzaa – an African-American year-end celebration – and because it symbolizes the faith that we as students hope to foster within historically disenfranchised communities as well as faith in the ability of the health care system to address their medical needs and social realities. In our hope for positive social change, we as volunteers must also have faith in our mission. Specifically, Imani Clinic was founded to provide health care to the African-American population of Oak Park. We serve anyone who walks through our doors, however it is our goal to address the needs of the African-American community.
