The Clement Foundation was created through a private endowment by Dr. Ikenna Okezie and Etomgi Okezie. With their combined experience in health care and the social sciences, they are focused on addressing the financial stressors associated with social determinants of health, which are non-medical factors that impact health outcomes.

This passion is driven by the boundless belief that health is more than just the physical and that all individuals, no matter their socio-economic background, have a right to autonomy and how they choose to improve their health.

In communities across the country, many people struggle to improve their health due to a lack of access and resources. The Clement Foundation aims to enhance our grantees’ well-being by providing additional funds that can be used to address those non-medical factors.

Access to additional funds empowers people to take an active role in their health and can lead to increased health outcomes by making it easier to address their needs holistically.

We want to collaborate with our grantees and partners to build healthy and vibrant communities where every individual can thrive.
