New Life Volunteering Society Free Health Clinic

Volunteer Information

The NLVS Free Health Clinic runs with the involvement of volunteer attending physicians, nurses, medical students, health educators, translators, and administrative staff. The clinic has been designed as a student-run clinic with medical students from several of the medical schools around Chicago working together in a collaborative effort to provide medical care to the uninsured and underserved under direct supervision of a physician fully licensed in the State of Illinois . The list of medical schools currently includes the University of Illinois at Chicago, Rush University, Northwestern University, Rosalind Franklin University, Loyola University, and the University of Chicago .


The clinic has 3 primary goals:
1) To provide basic health care to uninsured and underserved patients
2) To provide basic preventive care / health education to patients and the community
3) To provide learning opportunities for students in the clinical setting

The NLVS Free Health Clinic is currently accepting applications for those interested in being a part of the NLVS Clinic Executive Board from 1/11/12 - 12/31/12.  In addition, NLVS medical school chapters across Chicago are currently developing their executive boards to focus on both supporting the NLVS Free Health Clinic as well as serving the community through a variety of outreach efforts.  Applications are also currently being accepted for each medical school's chapter executive board for next year (1/11/12 - 12/31/12). Deadline has been extended to Friday 12/9/11 at 5pm.
