Hoya Clinic

What Hoya Clinic does

Hoya Clinic is a student-run free healthcare clinic operating under Georgetown University School of Medicine, providing free medical services to underserved populations in Washington, D.C. Founded in 2007 and relocated to The Triumph (a Community of Hope temporary housing facility in Congress Heights) in September 2019, the clinic operates primary care services Tuesday evenings with clinical oversight by Georgetown faculty physicians. In 2021, it expanded to a second site at the Catholic Charities Volunteer Medical Clinic on Monroe Street in Columbia Heights, offering services to Spanish-speaking patients with interpreter support. The clinic employs approximately 5 paid staff and is otherwise entirely volunteer-run, relying on Georgetown medical students, physicians, nurses, and support staff.

The clinic delivers a portfolio of 15+ programs beyond core primary care, including Flu Clinic, Foot Clinic (with MedStar podiatry support), Street Medicine Outreach, Food is Medicine, Hoya DOPE (overdose prevention), Child Assessment Team, Behavioral Health Team, Eye Health Initiative, Derm Clinic, Big HOYA Little Saxa (childcare at The Triumph), Summer Sports Camp, IronMed 5K fundraiser, Patient Advocacy & Navigation, Spanish Interpreter Program, and Educational Programming. Services are provided free of charge regardless of insurance or immigration status, addressing healthcare access barriers for homeless individuals, families in transitional housing, Spanish-speaking residents, and other DC underserved populations.

Hoya Clinic has no proprietary technology platform and does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded through institutional grants (DC Department of Health, AAMC Caring for Community Grant), donations (HoyasGive platform), corporate sponsorships (MedStar Health, IRONMED), and annual fundraising events. The entity is a nonprofit initiative of Georgetown University School of Medicine with no separate corporate ownership structure, governed by student coordinators and supervised by three Medical Directors. Patient demographics from 2015 show 83% DC residents, 43% from DC General Family Shelter, and 73% with health insurance coverage (up from 49% in 2014).
