UCD physicians, medical students and undergraduates staff and operate Clinica on a volunteer basis. The Clinic, located in behind Sutter-Davis Hospital, also has a satellite location in West Sacramento. The Clinic is open to anyone who cannot afford private health care or has no health insurance. Patients pay according to a sliding fee scale. Medi-Cal is also accepted.
Patients are from all income, ethnic and age groups.
All physicians and medical students who work in the Clinic are volunteers. We believe everyone should be able to obtain quality health care. We turn no one away based on inability to pay. We emphasize health education, counseling, and preventive health care in all our programs. Being a primary care facility with an ethnically diverse patient population, the clinic offers medical students and undergraduates the opportunity to acquire valuable clinical experience, as well as skills in dealing with patients of different cultural backgrounds.
