The UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic Project's motto as quoted from the UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic Project Project website:
"Serving the Underserved."
The UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic Project strives to provide top-notch care to all of its patients and works towards fulfilling dimensions of unmet need. The clinic stresses safety and confidentiality and adheres to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic Project seeks to educate and empower its patients and encourages them to take control of their health; the clinic hopes that this grassroots effort will spread and make all San Diegans more conscious and proactive about their health. The UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic Project strives to act as a teacher not only to its patients, but also its students, doctors, and volunteers. The staff learn first hand from their patients about the health disparity affecting low-income people as well as the non medical needs of the underserved. The UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic Project works to create an environment where all who attend, feel energized, encouraged, supported, respected, trusted and open to one another, thus making the San Diego community a healthier place to live.

“One of the main things that interfere with our joy is the belief that if we try hard enough, read the right books, follow the right advice, and buy the right things, we could be perfect parents. If we are good enough as parents, our children will be perfect too.... Unfortunately, what comes from trying to live out this philosophy is not perfect children but worried parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
