History
The clinic was founded in 1986 by Dr. Abner Golden and Dr. David Cowen as a partnership between the UK College of Medicine and the Salvation Army of Central Kentucky. It began in a temporarily walled-off corner of the dining room at the downtown Salvation Army, and soon moved to a converted storage closet. In 1992 Dr. John Gurley took over. Under his tenure, medical students in the pre-clinical years became involved, and the clinic moved to a larger space with three exam rooms and modest office space. Dr. Wanda Gonsalves assumed directorship in 1997, formalized the officer corps for second-year medical students, and added an elective focused on the clinic. Physical therapy students joined in 2002. Beginning in 2003, the clinic directorship passed among several people until ultimately resting in the hands of Dr. Jennifer Joyce in 2006. A Board of Directors was established in 2010 to ensure greater administrative continuity.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
