The mission of Phillips Neighborhood Clinic is three-fold:
- We will increase the accessibility of comprehensive, patient-centered, quality health services to patients with unmet needs
- We will develop compassionate, culturally sensitive future health professionals in an interprofessional, team-based learning environment
- We will support community partnerships and promote overall health and wellbeing in the communities we serve
Hours: Monday & Thursdays 6:00pm - 9:00pm (except holidays)
PNC does not take appointments. We operate on a first-come-first-serve basis and may not be able to see all patients on a given night depending on our volunteer capacity.
Our Duty to Our Patients
The patients we serve at the PNC come from a diverse array of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our goal in making PNC services available to our patients is to provide everyone the opportunity to receive free, quality health care regardless of their insurance situation, citizenship status, or financial background.
Because our patient population is largely Spanish-speaking, we offer Spanish interpreter services every night the clinic is open.
Through partnerships with Fairview and surrounding hospitals, the PNC is able to offer patients nearly any lab test and many prescriptions free of cost. Patients visiting the clinic are also encouraged to take advantage of physical therapy, nutrition, and mental health counseling services. In addition to these services, the PNC offers its patients guidance in securing resources that will help patients and their families find more stable sources of health care and ways to access other community supports in an effort to help them live safe, healthy, and independent lives. Because the PNC is not meant to be a primary care facility, we do our best to help our patients take the necessary steps to finding a regular source of health care. Until this is achieved, however, we owe it to our patients to provide the best care we can in a professional manner.
