Why Fourth Street Clinic?

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, many people in the United States don't get needed health care services due to barriers such as a lack of transportation, affordable housing, educational background or discrimination. Fourth Street Clinic is here to provide services to vulnerable individuals and families, reducing barriers caused by social determinants of health. Fourth Street Clinic began in 1988 as a triage clinic with one part-time nurse, relying on hospital volunteers for patient treatment. Today, Fourth Street Clinic operates with a staff of nearly 100 individuals and an eight-figure annual budget. Last year, we provided comprehensive health care to 5,369 unsheltered individuals through more than 20,000 visits.

Fourth Street Clinic embraces diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at all levels of our organization, and we strive for every employee to feel comfortable being their authentic self at work. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, identities and ideas. We value greater inclusivity which yields greater achievements, fosters belonging and improves access to high-quality health care for all as an essential human right.
