Pediatric residents participate in the practice and management of our Orange Street Clinic. This clinic was established by the Jefferson pediatric residents after an identified need to help the underserved children of our area.
At Orange Street, residents and volunteer attendings provide a bi-weekly clinic in the Salvation Army Women and Children's shelter. Children at the clinic are seen for acute problems, receive routine immunizations, have follow up for chronic health concerns, and get referrals for ongoing health concerns.
The residents also manage the clinic by organizing the staffing schedules, acquiring the medications and supplies, and arrange follow up. Overall it has been a wonderful success for the community and our residents.
