In July 2016, MedPACt and the UCF College of Nursing established a local presence in collaboration with the Farmworker Association of Florida to provide health clinics to those without health insurance. We provide services in a range of specialties including internal medicine, pediatric, ophthalmology, nephrology, obstetrics/gynecology, dermatology, and physical therapy. Our volunteers include faculty and students from across UCF including medicine, nursing, physical therapy, social work, and counselor education programs as well as the UF College of Pharmacy.
We hold a clinic approximately every quarter at the Farmworker Association of Florida in Apopka. More information on the Farmworker Association of Florida can be found here.
