On Monday, October 30th the University of Cincinnati College of Allied Health Sciences held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Interprofessional Community Clinic.

"The Interprofessional Community Clinic has been established with a clear purpose – to provide accessible and affordable health care services to everyone in our community while also providing experiential learning experiences for our students," says Interim Dean Charity Accurso, PhD. "Our vision is to create a healthier, happier community where individuals and families can receive comprehensive care in a welcoming and inclusive environment."
The clinic will be a hub of interprofessional collaboration, ensuring patients receive holistic care tailored to their unique needs.
