Grace/Porchlight Drop-In Shelter Clinic
Grace/Porchlight was the first MEDiC clinic to be founded, in February, 1991, under the guidance of Dr. Ted Goodfriend, who served as the medical director until 2006. Dr. Doug Kutz is the current medical director. Its purpose is to provide health care to an underserved portion of the Madison population (homeless men) while offering an opportunity for students to provide community service and gain a broader background in clinical medicine. Clinic services are offered to residents of the Grace/Porchlight Drop-in Shelter. The typical format: three medical students working with two physicians and one-on-one patient interviews. The setting is best described as minimalist - no formal exam rooms or high-tech equipment. This format, the simple setting, and the attending physicians are what make Grace/Porchlight so rewarding for students who volunteer there.
