we are committed to collaborating with people and partners to ensure access to holistic care and resources.
Our Story
Service, impact, and creating strategic initiatives to increase access to holistic care and resources are at the heart of our mission. The Clement Foundation was created through a private endowment by Dr. Ikenna Okezie and Etomgi Okezie. With their combined experience in health care and the social sciences, they are focused on addressing the financial stressors associated with social determinants of health. This passion stems from an observation that health is more than just the physical. In communities across the country, many people struggle to improve their health due to the lack of access created by financial barriers. The Clement Foundation aims to enhance our clients’ well-being and livelihood by providing additional financial support and funding, so they never have to decide between buying groceries or paying for transportation to and from doctor’s visits. Access to additional funds empowers people to take an active role in their health and can lead to increased health outcomes by making it easier to address their needs holistically. We want to collaborate with our clients and partners to build healthy and vibrant communities where every individual can thrive.
