The Hope Clinic

For those unfamiliar with our clinic, The Hope Clinic is a primary care clinic that serves the uninsured, underserved adult population of Memphis. Our primary goal is to provide access to quality healthcare and improve the health literacy and overall health of our great community. With the support of Church Health and their clinical space at Crosstown, The Hope Clinic has helped meet the medical needs of hundreds of patients. The clinic is run entirely by student and community volunteers within the city of Memphis. All medical encounters are performed by training healthcare professionals under the supervision of licensed physicians and pharmacists. All care and diagnostic testing provided by our clinic are provided at zero cost to our patients. We have partnerships with Church Health to provide subspecialty care that is outside the scope of our primary care practice.

Dress-code is either scrubs or business casual.

We hold weekly educational sessions in clinical medicine. If you are interested in viewing the materials from our educational sessions, please click here.

If any volunteer position is full but you are still interested in volunteering, please join the waitlist and you'll be automatically registered and notified if someone cancels.
