Additional Information

Basic health care offered at a medical clinic, typically to low income, homeless or underinsured populations

The clinic is staffed by a Registered Nurse 20 hours per week, provides basic health screenings, referrals to community health providers, and health education. The nurse consults with clients on their health concerns, and helps them establish a relationship with a primary-care physician, manage their medication, and make their medication co-pays.

Through a relationship between the University of Minnesota Duluth Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy, Churches United in Ministry (CHUM) hosts the HOPE CLINIC for CHUM clients without medical insurance. Staffed for three hours each week by pharmacy and medical students with oversight by medical school physician-instructors, the clinic provides a limited number of patients with one office visit per year.
