It’s Aslan Health… Not Aisan, Alsan, or “That Clinic With the Lion Name”
If you’ve ever tried to say our clinic’s name out loud, you’re not alone.
We’ve heard it all.
Aisan Health
Alsan Health
Azlan Health
Ash-lan Health
One patient even called us “Aspirin Health.”
To be fair, English can be tricky. But the secret to our name is actually simple:
👉 There’s an “L” in the middle.
Not an “I.”
It’s Aslan Health — pronounced “AZ-lan.”
Think of it like this:
A + SLAN = Aslan
And once you know where the name comes from, it becomes even more meaningful.
Where the Name “Aslan” Comes From
The name Aslan comes from the famous book series The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. In those stories, Aslan is a lion who represents goodness, truth, sacrifice, and hope.
In the story, Aslan is the king of Narnia — a powerful but compassionate lion who sacrifices himself to save others and ultimately defeats evil. The character is widely understood as a representation of Jesus Christ within the fictional world of Narnia.
The name itself actually comes from Turkish and literally means “lion.”
And lions have long symbolized courage, leadership, and strength.
That symbolism mattered to us.
Why We Chose the Name
At Aslan Health, our goal isn’t just to treat illness.
Our mission is to care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and to demonstrate the love of Christ through healthcare.
The character of Aslan in Narnia represents:
• Courage
• Sacrifice
• Compassion
• Justice
• Hope
Those are the same values we want reflected in the care we provide every day.
Because healthcare should be more than charts and prescriptions.
It should be compassion in action.
But Seriously… It’s the “L”
So the next time you see our name:
✔ Aslan Health
Remember:
• It’s not Aisan
• It’s not Alsan
• It’s not A-something-with-an-I
It’s Aslan — with an L.
Like the lion.

Okay… we just made that up.
But it works.
A Clinic Named After a Lion (But We’re Still Friendly)
Don’t worry.
Even though our clinic is named after a lion, we promise we don’t roar at patients.
In fact, most people experience the opposite.
At Aslan Health, you’ll find a place where:
• You can walk in without an appointment
• Care is affordable and transparent
• You’re treated like a neighbor, not a number
Because healthcare should feel welcoming — not intimidating.
The Name Reminds Us Why We’re Here
Every day when we see the name Aslan Health, it reminds us of something important:
Healthcare should reflect the heart of Christ.
That means:
• Caring for the underserved
• Removing barriers to care
• Treating people with dignity
• Offering hope alongside healing
Because when healthcare is done the right way, it looks a lot like compassion.
And compassion is exactly what we hope people think of when they hear the name:
Aslan Health.
With an L.
