History

The History of Axis Clinics

Axis Medical Center 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.

To assist this diverse community make the transition from underserved population with a poor understanding of how to seek and utilize health care to a well-served population educated in health care and wellness, Axis brings unique cultural and linguistic resources. The Axis medical, service, and education staff represents the broad ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity of the population it serves, with years of experience working with this population and earned credibility in the community. Axis outreach programs include free vaccinations and health screenings, diabetes prevention classes, smoking cessation and nutrition coaching, interfaith dialogue, and physical & mental health services at homeless facilities across the Twin Cities.
