Established in 1990, MEDiC is a student-run program of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and is comprised of seven health clinics throughout Madison. MEDiC’s goals are twofold: first, to improve the health of the underserved in the Madison area and second, to educate University of Wisconsin-Madison health professions students.
The seven clinics provide a variety of services, including general medical care, physical therapy, dentistry, and mental health care.
Grace Clinic is held at 7:45pm on Tuesdays at the Porchlight Men’s Shelter in the Grace Episcopal Church on the Capitol Square.
Salvation Army Clinic provides care to residents of the Salvation Army Family and Women’s Shelter on Tuesday nights starting at 6:40pm.
Michele Tracy Preventative Health Clinic occurs one Tuesday evening each month and provides specific programs aimed at improving the health status of residents of Porchlight’s North Brooks Street housing facility.
Safe Haven Mental Health Clinic operates every other Wednesday starting at 6:30pm at Porchlight’s facility on Nakoosa Trail.
Center for Families Pediatric Clinic serves clients of the Center for Families on the third Wednesday of every month.
Madison Dental Initiative offers dental services to Dane County residents and operates on Thursday nights out of the Salvation Army Family and Women’s Shelter.
South Side Clinic is the MEDiC’s only walk-in clinic and opens at 8am every Saturday out of the Access Community Health Center on Park Street.
MEDiC’s Clinics also feature specialty clinics such as Physical Therapy, Flu Shot Clinics, and Dermatology.
MEDiC also holds Health Talks, an opportunity for students to educate women recovering from addiction at two ARC locations on a variety of health topics.
MEDiC Volunteers must attend an Orientation Session before they can begin volunteering. MEDiC holds two volunteer sessions each year: the first in June and the second at the beginning of the academic year, in September. You should receive an e-mail a few weeks before each orientation.
