Student Run Free Clinic

High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer,” as it is the #1 risk factor for having a stroke, according to the American Heart Association. It is also considered a risk for heart attacks. The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it regularly checked. Adults aged 18 and over should be screened for high blood pressure at least once every two years.

Yearly screening physical exams can detect problems associated with aging and lifestyle, such as smoking and physical inactivity. Screening exams can include blood pressure monitoring, a heart and lung exam, risk factor assessment for various diseases, and much more.

We encourage you to bring all your current medications — including vitamins, prescription creams, sprays, etc.— so our student pharmacists can perform a personalized medication review.

Our public health students are here to help you sort through information about diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. We will pair you up with a case manager who will walk you through information on various chronic conditions and work with you to set personal goals for a healthier lifestyle.

Osteopathic medicine focuses on treating the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) involves using the hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness and injury. Using OMT, our osteopathic medical students will move your muscles and joints using techniques that include stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance.

Lifestyle medicine focuses on working with you through managing chronic disease and optimizing your health. A detailed history will be taken on your diet, physical activity, stress level, social connections and sleep health. Collaboratively, we figure out what your goals are and how best to reach them.
