WHAT IS THE BROOKLYN FREE CLINIC?
The Brooklyn Free Clinic (BFC) is a student-run free clinic addressing health disparities in Brooklyn through service and education atSUNY Downstate. We offer free medical, psychiatric, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and social work services to uninsured patients in New York City. In addition, we provide free preventative and screening services, as well as free and low-cost medications and medical referrals for our patients. We are entirely staffed by volunteers comprised of students and medical professionals at SUNY Downstate Medical Center.
ABOUT THE EVENT
BFC’s “What’s Next? Global Health Here at Home” is a fundraising event with keynote speakers, a silent auction, and a comedy show hosted at the Bell House with all proceeds going towards the BFC. The keynote speakers will be addressing public health initiatives, global health themes, difficulties of getting proper healthcare and the changing healthcare system. During the event, food and beverages donated from the Brooklyn community will be served and guests will be able to peruse the items up for auction. When the speakers have finished, guest will have a break to enjoy the space, musicians, food, beverages and complete the silent auction. After this “happy hour” a comedy show will bring the night to a close. Our performers will be donating their time and talent in support of our clinic and the patients we serve.
