Dr. Jubilee 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. Dr. Oyeyemi was born and raised in Nigeria. He moved from Philadelphia to New Jersey in 2012 after obtaining his medical degree, according to the Muslim Network. 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 over 2,500 patients and provided more than 4,000 office visits. There are about 30 volunteer doctors and nurses that provide free, compassionate, and preventative medical care to the uninsured and underinsured.
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."
Farah Roomi is the clinic's assistant medical director. In an interview with NBC10 Philadelphia, she said, "They're individuals that have regular jobs. Some of them are ER physicians that work overnight and coming in the morning to see our patients."
Dr. Oyeyemi 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.
