Lance D. Laird is a fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding. With Wendy Cadge, he is the author of the 2008 study “Caring for Our Neighbors: How Muslim Community-Based Health Organizations are Bridging the Health Care Gap in America,” the first report to document the development and growth of Muslim health-care organizations in the U.S. They found that most Muslim health clinics offer free or low-cost services to anyone in need, regardless of whether they are Muslim or not.
