Mission
The Suitcase Clinic is a homeless healthcare initiative dedicated to improving the health of the local homeless population.
What We Do
At the Suitcase Clinic, we recognize the need for medical services and the barriers to health care that exist within the local Harrisonburg community. Rather than only functioning in a fixed clinical setting, the mobile services provided by the Suitcase Clinic allow patients to be seen by healthcare providers in private settings within various homeless shelter settings. In collaboration with volunteer licensed clinicians, health profession students, and local volunteers, the Suitcase Clinic provides a variety of services to community members through routine clinics.
Who do we serve?
We serve the people of this city with no bed of their own.. Our patients are anyone utilizing the shelters in Harrisonburg, VA, regardless of insurance status, who need access to medical care now and guidance to establish a medical home for their future healthcare needs . Once our clients find housing, we continue to follow their progress for up to 24 months to ensure a stable transition to community health care.
