Aloha Inn - Summer 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, clinic has been adjusted to take appropriate safety precautions and allow for social distancing. All required PPE will be provided by the clinic. If you have been provided with goggles by the SOM please bring these with you. Though we do expect you to wear your own mask into clinic, you will be provided with a disposable mask for use during clinic. Keeping our volunteers and patients safe is our primary concern.

We’re looking for July volunteers for the Clinic at the Inn, formerly known as the Aloha Inn Clinic. This is a SHIFA clinic that provides screening and referral services to residents at the Inn. The Inn went through several changes after the the onset of COVID, what was formerly a transitional housing program is now an acute, low barrier shelter. As student volunteers we expect your role to include: weight, blood glucose, and blood pressure screenings, problem focused visits with residents, referrals to primary care, specialists, and financial services, and health education especially with regards to harm reduction.

The clinic will run Saturday, July 10th from 1:00-3:00pm. Please sign up with your year, email, and a good contact phone number. We'll send details by email in the days prior to clinic.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Ivor Clinton (iclin24@uw.edu) and Jo Brunner (brunner1@uw.edu)
