Health Partners Free Clinic is a great place for students to pick up skill sets that they otherwise would not in their typical experiential rotations. However, Monica, our pharmacy extern for the month of March, has chosen a different path than the typical student. She strategically chose to come here to prepare herself for a… ( read more )
The year 2021 started off with a lot of help from our two pharmacy externs, Deanna and Rukaiyah. There are plenty of skills that our pharmacy students bring with them to the Clinic, but, usually, the most important thing to bring is an open heart and mind. These two came to Health Partners with that… ( read more )
So 2020 was …… yeah. But we here at Health Partners Free Clinic were not defeated! In fact, in 2020 we provided more value to the community than in many years past. Seriously! Like, $200,000 worth of medical services more. We could not do it without the support of that same community and wish to… ( read more )

Problems like homelessness, food insecurity, and abuse do not fall in our cookie-cut solution system well. Here at Health Partners, we value a warmer interaction with our patients… ( read more )
The month of June could be described as frantic at best. Our Country and community continues to be tested from all directions and the Clinic has done our best to provide those in need a safe and caring space to turn to. That certainly would have been impossible without the hands of our two pharmacy… ( read more )
For us here at the Clinic, we always see having our new students as a treat. On rare occasion, these students are new to us AND new to the hands-on clinical work that becomes the totality of their experiential education. Matt, our May pharmacy student from Cedarville University, was just such a treat. Health Partners had… ( read more )
