Penn Medicine In The Community

Improving lives and health in underserved communities throughout the Philadelphia area is among Penn Medicine's highest priorities. Every day, Penn physicians, nurses, medical students and volunteers share their knowledge, skills, and themselves to benefit the community. Activities include free health clinics and screenings, disease prevention and treatment education, support groups for patients and their families and health care career development.

The guiding principle: to provide quality care without compromise. Need is the only prerequisite.
