Our Mission

"The mission of the Willow Clinic is to holistically improve the health of community members who are currently living outside or experiencing homelessness while providing a unique platform for student education. We strive to address inequities in healthcare access by operating a free clinic each Saturday. Community members regardless of documentation, or insurance status, can seek medical and psychiatric care as well as a host of other services. We utilize a patient-centered care approach where we prioritize listening to and learning from our community members to best incorporate harm reduction and trauma-informed care in our clinic.

Though we provide necessary services to alleviate part of the effects of a much larger, systemic issue, we strive to provide a space for our students to critically reflect on their roles as future health professionals and stand in solidarity with people first and housing first, community-based movements. The Willow Clinic brings together a diverse set of compassionate, dedicated, and enthusiastic students and healthcare professionals who are constantly working together to improve our approach."
