Thank you to our 4th Annual Fundraising Gala Sponsors. The work we do at Bridges would not be possible without you.
Student-run free clinics have a long history of providing care to meet the health needs of underserved populations, while enriching students’ professional education.
With this in mind, students from Portland State University (PSU), Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and Oregon State University (OSU) have joined forces with Transition Projects (TPI) to take student-run free clinics to a new level of inter-professional innovation by launching Bridges Collaborative Care Clinic (BCCC). Including multiple disciplines from the start is what makes this effort unique; although many other student-run free clinics have developed into inter-professional organizations, they have not started as such.
Services Offered
Bridges Collaborative Care Clinic (BCCC) is a free, student-run clinic that provides health and social services that are participant-centered, and utilize a trauma-informed approach.
Affiliated Programs
Bridges Collaborative Care Clinic uses a inter-disciplinary approach, offering participants a unique experience where medical, dental, nursing, pharmaceutical, public health, community health, social work, and counseling student knowledge come together to provide participants with a more holistic approach to care.
We care about your health.
In this current COVID 19 pandemic we had to reassess how to continue providing care to those in our community that need it the most. While we had to temporarily close our clinic doors to ensure community safety, our students have come together to provide essential supplies for individuals that don’t have the ability to maintain the recommended physical distancing. This includes providing information about food and shelter resources as well as making masks for those in need. It’s just another way to show our community how much we care.
