The Student-Run Free Clinic (SRFC) is organized and staffed by students from Touro University California. The SRFC was developed in order to foster a relationship between the city of Vallejo and Touro University by providing a valuable resource for low-income residents of Vallejo, completely free of charge. After conversations with local healthcare stakeholders, several barriers to healthcare acce

ss were identified. The most significant ones include: a lack of after-hours care, insufficient medical insurance, inadequate transportation to healthcare facilities, cultural stigmas, a significant language barrier in Spanish and other languages, and poor health literacy. The SRFC has resolved to overcome these barriers to healthcare in Vallejo. Students benefit by practicing their clinical skills through increased patient contact, developing interprofessional leadership and teamwork skills, and gaining direct experience of the social, economic and cultural challenges that impact healthcare. The SRFC offers a dynamic educational environment for students as well as compassionate service to our local community.

Touro’s Student-Run Free Clinic would like to wish our community a Happy Pride Month! Gender and sexual orientation are important aspects of one’s identity and health and we hope that all who identify as LGBTQ+ feel welcome at our clinic! During the month of Pride, it is important to reflect on disparities that LGBTQ+ individuals face when seeking healthcare. “Research suggests that LGBT individuals face health disparities linked to societal stigma, discrimination, and denial of their civil and human rights. Discrimination against LGBT persons has been associated with high rates of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and su***de (1).” Indeed, research has shown that due to repeated incidences of medical stigma and discrimination, LGBTQ+ individuals are less likely to have a primary health care provider or even health insurance than the general population (2). We hope that in the month of Pride and every month thereafter, we can make strides toward more inclusive and supportive healthcare practices for the LGBTQ+ community!
