Abstract
The University of Iowa Mobile Clinic (UIMC) is an interdisciplinary student-run free medical clinic founded in 2002. UIMC provides free health screenings, education, and basic services to underserved populations in Iowa: immigrants, refugees, migrant farmworkers, individuals experiencing homelessness, low-income individuals, and people who live in rural communities. Forty-four percent of patients surveyed use UIMC as their only source of care. Ninety-seven percent of patients surveyed rate care as excellent or good. UIMC is a crucial safety net health care resource in Iowa to improve health equity.
