"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.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:
“A philosophy can and must be worked out with the greatest rigour and discipline in the details, but can ultimately be founded on nothing but faith: and this is the reason, I suspect, why the novelties in philosophy are only in elaboration, and never in fundamentals.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Frankly, I do not like the idea of conversations to define the term “unconditional surrender.” ... The German people can have dinned into their ears what I said in my Christmas Eve speech—in effect, that we have no thought of destroying the German people and that we want them to live through the generations like other European peoples on condition, of course, that they get rid of their present philosophy of conquest.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The philosophy of action for action, power for the sake of power, had become an established orthodoxy. “Thou has conquered, O go-getting Babbitt.””
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
