About the Company

Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) believes that access to high-quality health care is a basic human right. In 2023, EJI opened a health clinic in Montgomery to provide free health care to formerly incarcerated and other vulnerable populations in Alabama. Through both a physical clinic and a mobile health unit, EJI works to reduce poverty and improve health outcomes for those who have traditionally lacked access to care.
