Sanad Health
A Faith-Based Medical Cost Sharing Community
Specialized Clinic is seeking grassroots community support to launch Sanad Health, a first-of-its-kind, Muslim faith-based medical cost-sharing community open to all who share values rooted in Islamic requirements. Our goal is to provide a cost-effective alternative to commercial insurance that offers superior member experiences and healthcare outcomes.
The Healthshare Revolution
Healthshares are non-profit collectives where members contribute a monthly "share" to help pay for the medical bills of others. Built on principles of mutual aid rather than corporate profit, they provide a sustainable, value-driven model for managing healthcare expenses.
| Feature | Sanad Healthshare | Traditional Insurance |

Core Value Propositions
1. Exceptional Cost Efficiency
Monthly "shares" are often 30–50% less expensive than private insurance premiums. As a non-profit, savings are passed directly to the members.
2. Freedom of Choice
Sanad Health does not restrict access to healthcare providers. The decision-making power regarding treatments stays between the patient and the doctor.
3. Ethical Reinvestment
Redirect community dollars away from corporate profit and toward community-aligned projects. Sanad Health offers an alternative to insurers who invest in industries antithetical to our values.
4. Support for Small Businesses (SMBs)
Sanad Health aims to lower costs for SMBs, affording them a qualitative and quantitative edge while improving social determinants of health.
Next Steps: Expression of Interest
We are currently seeking 1,000 individuals and/or businesses to formally express "soft interest" (no monetary commitment).
- Pending adequate interest, we will begin funding legal and management setup.
- Once established, we will offer age-adjusted tiered membership plans.
