UCLA/GWHFC Mobile Clinic Project

University of California at Los Angeles - CA, California
President: Chancellor Albert Carnesale

The mission of UCLA/GWHFC (Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition) Mobile Clinic Project is to improve the health outcomes and quality of life for homeless and low-income individuals in the Hollywood and West Hollywood areas through direct medical and health care services, health promotion and disease prevention activites, social support and case management services, and referral to medical and social resources in the community.

The clinic is a student-run, street based effort to provide basic medical and social support services to the men and women who rely on the food coalition and who have very limited access to health care and social services.
