Dr. Jubril Oyeyemi gives free medical care to people who walk into the Cherry Hill Free Clinic with no insurance and nowhere else to go. He founded the nonprofit clinic in Cherry Hill, New Jersey so uninsured and underinsured residents could receive primary care without worrying about cost, according to Camden County officials in New Jersey.
Dr. Oyeyemi earned his medical degree from the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine. In 2017, he presented the idea for a free clinic to the Gracious Center of Learning and Enrichment Activities (GCLEA) mosque board. The mosque agreed to support the idea, and it was met with strong enthusiasm. On September 9, 2025, the clinic received a $76,100 grant from NBC Universal's Local Impact Grants.
Today, Dr. Oyeyemi and the Cherry Hill Free Clinic team have served more than 2,500 patients and provided more than 4,000 office visits. In a commentary published in the American Journal of Managed Care, Dr. Oyeyemi wrote, "Anyone who has worked in a hospital can relate to treating a subset of patients over and over again. Their cases are usually confounding, dense, and extend to matters beyond health care." He said that his team worked with patients who had complex medical conditions along with health-related social needs and developed a plan to address both.
