Who Are We? – St. Verena Clinic

St. Verena Clinic is under the auspices of the Coptic Orthodox Church. It was founded in 2022 by members of the Coptic Orthodox community in Houston, TX. A decade ago, this group created an organization called St. Verena Medical Society. They were involved in missions to Kenya and Bolivia and also did Health Awareness days in the different churches in Houston. These activities have now evolved leading to the creation of St. Verena Clinic.

The current leader of the church is HH Pope Tawadros II, the 118th Pope of Alexandria and Pope of the See of St. Mark.
