At Axis Clinics, your health and wellness is our top priority! Our clinic was founded to provide exceptional primary care services to the diverse patient population in the Twin-Cities communities we serve.
Axis Clinics was founded by Dr. Crispin Semakula, an endocrinologist of Tanzanian origin, in collaboration with a group of health care professionals and community leaders, in order to serve Minneapolis’ burgeoning refugee and immigrant community within an environment highly adapted to the linguistic needs and cultural sensitivities of the patient population.
The clinic opened its doors as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit primary care community health center in 2008, and quickly became the go-to clinic for Somali and other East African Minnesotans. This population continues to grow and its healthcare needs grow accordingly

At Axis Clinics, your health and wellness is our top priority! Our clinic was founded to provide exceptional primary care services to the diverse patient population in the Twin-Cities communities we serve.
Axis Clinics is the fastest growing Community Health Center in Minnesota because for eleven years we have been learning how to best provide culturally—and linguistically—appropriate services in a community that endures unique barriers to health and wellness, including recent immigration and low levels of insurance, employment, education, and English proficiency. Our team, our Board of Directors, and our partner organizations, all belong to the families and communities we serve.
Our Allergies and Immunology services provide comprehensive care for individuals experiencing allergies, asthma, immune system concerns, and other related conditions that can affect daily health and quality of life. Our healthcare team takes the time to understand each patient’s symptoms, medical history, environmental factors, and individual concerns.
We work with patients to identify possible triggers, evaluate symptoms, and develop personalized approaches to managing their condition. Care may include education about allergy and immune-related conditions, symptom management, preventive strategies, and ongoing follow-up when needed.
Our goal is to help patients better understand their health, reduce the impact of symptoms, and feel more confident managing their condition. We are committed to providing respectful, accessible, and patient-centered care for individuals and families from diverse backgrounds.
Our Family Medicine services provide comprehensive healthcare for individuals and families throughout every stage of life. We focus on building long-term relationships with our patients and providing care that addresses both immediate health concerns and ongoing wellness needs.
Our services support routine checkups, preventive care, health screenings, common illnesses, chronic condition management, and general healthcare needs for patients of different ages. During each visit, our providers take the time to listen to patients, understand their health history, discuss their concerns, and create care plans based on their individual needs.
We also emphasize preventive health and patient education so individuals can make informed decisions about their well-being. By providing accessible and community-focused primary care, we strive to make healthcare easier to understand, easier to access, and centered around the needs of every patient and family we serve.
Our Endocrinology services provide specialized care for health conditions involving hormones, metabolism, and the endocrine system. Hormonal and metabolic conditions can affect many aspects of a person’s health, including energy, weight, blood sugar, growth, and overall well-being.
Our team works with patients to understand their symptoms, medical history, and health concerns while developing individualized care plans based on their needs. Services may support patients managing diabetes, thyroid disorders, metabolic concerns, and other endocrine-related conditions.

Our goal is to provide supportive, coordinated care that helps patients understand their condition, manage symptoms, and work toward better long-term health outcomes.
Our Immigration medical services provide healthcare evaluations and medical examination support for individuals completing immigration-related requirements. We understand that immigration processes can involve many steps and may feel overwhelming, so our team works to make the medical portion of the process as clear, respectful, and comfortable as possible.
We provide a professional environment where patients can receive the necessary medical evaluation and guidance related to their immigration requirements. Our team focuses on accurate documentation, clear communication, and a patient-centered experience throughout the process.
We also recognize the importance of culturally responsive care and strive to make every patient feel welcomed and respected regardless of their background or circumstances. Our goal is to help patients navigate their medical requirements with confidence while receiving compassionate healthcare throughout their visit.
Our Research services support the advancement of healthcare through community-focused research, health initiatives, evidence-based programs, and collaboration with healthcare and community partners. Research plays an important role in helping healthcare organizations better understand the needs of the communities they serve and identify opportunities to improve care.
Our research efforts are focused on generating meaningful information that can contribute to improved healthcare practices and better patient outcomes. Through collaboration, data-driven initiatives, and community engagement, we seek to better understand health challenges and explore approaches that can make healthcare more accessible and effective.
We value responsible and meaningful research that respects the communities and individuals involved. By supporting research and innovation, we aim to contribute to a stronger understanding of community health and help shape better healthcare opportunities for the future.
Our Adult and Childhood Vaccination services provide preventive immunizations designed to help protect children, adults, families, and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccinations are an important part of maintaining individual and public health, and staying up to date can help reduce the risk of illness and the spread of infectious diseases.

We provide a welcoming environment where parents, caregivers, and adult patients can ask questions and discuss any concerns they may have about vaccination.

We work to connect individuals and families with healthcare information, community resources, education, support programs, and opportunities that can help improve their overall well-being.
Our outreach efforts are designed to meet people where they are and help address barriers that may make it difficult to access healthcare or other essential resources. Through community engagement, health education, outreach activities, partnerships, and resource navigation, our team works to build trust and create stronger connections within the community.
Outreach also provides an opportunity to listen to community members, better understand their needs, and connect them with appropriate services and support. Our goal is to make healthcare information and community resources more accessible while promoting awareness, empowerment, and healthier communities. By working alongside individuals, families, community organizations, and local partners, we strive to create meaningful connections that extend beyond the clinic and support long-term community health.
Our Women’s Health services provide compassionate, respectful, and personalized healthcare designed to support women through every stage of life.

Our services emphasize preventive healthcare, wellness, health education, screenings, and support for a variety of women’s health needs. We encourage patients to take an active role in their healthcare by creating an environment where they can comfortably ask questions, discuss concerns, and make informed decisions about their health.
