Juvenile Caduceus Clinic

Student-run clinic dedicated to improving the health of our community through public health.

About

Our organization aims to deliver high-quality care and assistance to underprivileged communities who pose a higher risk for toxic stress. Addressing public health concerns related to individuals' well-being requires an intersectional approach that acknowledges, understands, and responds to the signs, symptoms, and risks of trauma. Upholding a trauma-informed approach is essential to how we effectively support the health needs of patients who are at risk of having experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. By integrating the four pillars of leadership, humility, empathy, and responsibility, our goal is to work together to provide equal care with respect to social, mental, and overall health of our communities.
