UCLA Mobile Clinic

School of Public Health & Medicine

 

 

The UCLA Mobile Clinic Project, which commenced in October 2000, is a student-managed initiative with the goal of providing basic health care, under the supervision of an attending physician, and social services to homeless individuals in Los Angeles. Health, social, and referral services are provided weekly in the street setting of an industrial area. The project is managed entirely by an interdisciplinary group of UCLA student volunteers from the schools of public health, medicine, and the undergraduate college. It arose from a unique partnership between the University and the Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition (GWHFC), a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that serves meals to the homeless in Hollywood every night of the week. Operating weekly at a public street corner one block southeast of the major intersection of Santa Monica and La Brea, the Mobile Clinic provides services out of a van to the homeless and transiently housed.
