Mission Statement
UC Riverside's Student-Run Health Clinic began in 2005
, growing from the collaborative concerns of students and doctors disturbed by the
number of Riverside locals without basic healthcare. With the help of licensed medical
professionals and the cooperation of volunteers at Project FOOD at First Congregational
Church, we have continued to better our clinical skills as well as strengthen a
foundation of humanity upon which we will build our future in health professions. As our
family of medical students in the UCLA/UCR Thomas Haider Biomedical Program exercise their
growing medical knowledge, they have the opportunity to benefit from experienced nurses
and doctors as well as a chance to shape undergraduate volunteers' learned curiosity while holding patient treatment and
comfort paramount.
