Over the next few weeks we will be featuring each of the UC Davis Student Run Clinics, and sharing the unique and necessary role they play in the community. First up, @bayanihanclinic! "Bayanihan Clinic was founded in February of 2002 when a group of four UC Davis undergraduates recognized the need for a free clinic catering to specific needs of the Filipino community, specifically the Filipino World War II Veterans. The founders chose the name, “Bayanihan”(<by-yah-nee-hawn), a word from a Filipino dialect, Tagalog, meaning “a collective group of people working together towards a common goal,” to capture two essences of the clinic. Bayani, which is the literal term for “heroes,” recognizes the focus of the clinic’s target population, the Filipino WWII Veterans...."

"For more than 40 years, student-run clinics (SRCs) affiliated with UC Davis have been operating in the inner-city neighborhoods of Sacramento, providing free health care to uninsured, low-income and other underserved populations. The success of the SRCs has been made possible through the generosity of support by sponsors with funds raised during our Annual Silent Auction and Wine Tasting Benefit at the UC Davis School of Medicine, which sadly, has been cancelled due to COVID-19 safety concerns. Now, more than ever, patients need our help. Which is why in lieu of our annual event, we will be hosting a donation drive to help support the SRCs in their mission to provide care for our underserved communities." - The UC Davis Wine Auction Team For more information about the history of the Annual Silent Auction and Wine Tasting Benefit, the SRCs and how to donate, click the link in our bio! 
We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for you. 
About 25 students dedicated to improving the health of the medically underserved hosted a much-needed, drive-through flu shot clinic Sunday at a community center frequented by Hmong families. Volunteers with the UC Davis School of Medicine’s student-run clinic, Hmong Lifting Underserved Barriers @hlub_clinic, provided 80 free doses of the influenza vaccine to motorists and passengers outside Hope Center in a disadvantaged section of Sacramento County. The students from UC Davis, the School of Medicine and Sacramento State had been eager to serve the community ever since HLUB and other UC Davis free clinics were forced to limit capacity for patients and volunteer staff due to COVID-19 safety precautions earlier this year. “It’s really nice to be able to have patient interaction,” said Joyee Tseng, MS2, one of the drive-through clinic volunteers. “It’s been a little bit hard during COVID.”
