Clinic closure brings power to a community. Lessons learned to inform health policy.
Development of a community clinic as a campus/community partnership served as a model for community empowerment in a unique demonstration project in a rural state. The purpose was to provide primary health care and illustrate the impact of expert faculty practice with extremely vulnerable populations. Advanced practice students in a variety of disciplines participated with faculty in health care delivery in an underserved area.
