Our Community

The University of Louisville has a global perspective, national and international leaders and great regional influence. Yet, there is a great sense of local caring for the underserved.

Our Impact

"I came to you because you came to us!" It's not enough to just talk about access to care. We actually have to make it happen.

Community Health Screenings

We have been partnering with UofL Health to go into the community and do cardiovascular screening. In addition to the screening, we are setting up clinics in the West End and we envision growth in both primary care and subspecialty care for the underserved in their own neighborhoods.
