With funds allocated from Phantom Ball donations, volunteer project leaders initiated many new programs for the clinic. The needs of the clinic patients are many, as they are very young, have low educational levels, are victims of sexual or physical abuse, or are drug addicted and homeless. With UCSF Faculty Associates' support, a lending library for the clients of the YWP has been established, taxi fare for emergency medical visits and cafeteria vouchers for nutritious meals provided, and Delivery Day Gifts for mom and baby are assembled as a surprise for the young mothers. Since 1970, UCSF Faculty Associates have provided loans and scholarships for needy students campuswide.
Loans are interest free until graduation.
UCSF Faculty Associates' commitment to those requiring financial aid has assisted students from the schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy and the graduate program in physical therapy.
