On-Site Primary Care Clinic
Made possible through the dedication and support of Inner-City Health Associates, the YWS Primary Care Clinic opened it’s doors in January of 2024. Open Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the clinic provides low-barrier access to essential health care for our most vulnerable clientele. Services include check-ups, blood work, psychiatry, referrals, and other related healthcare prescriptions based on assessment. Staffed by a general practitioner, mental health clinicians, and nursing support, this clinic provides immediate, accessible care to youth who often go without basic medical attention for extended periods.
Many of our residents face undiagnosed but highly treatable conditions, both physical and mental. This clinic allows us to address their health needs holistically, offering the compassionate, comprehensive care they deserve right here at YWS.
This initiative is more than a healthcare service—it’s a critical step toward breaking down barriers and ensuring every youth has the foundation they need to thrive.
“The clinic sessions are very helpful. I am very grateful to have a doctor on-site to help me because sometimes I don’t like going to Walk-in Clinics due to waiting times and my anxiety. Dr Chowdhury is very nice, welcoming and quick.”
