CCCKC partners with free health clinic

Cleveland Chiropractic College of Kansas City student interns are providing chiropractic care to needy residents of Kansas City thanks to an agreement between the college and the Kansas City Free Health Clinic. The result is a program that allows the interns to gain clinical experience away from campus, while providing relief for those who are most in need of their services.

The presence of Cleveland interns at the clinic provides an additional wellness option. In addition to chiropractic care, patients have access to general medicine, HIV support, mental health services, dental care, and a variety of testing and screening services. By offering chiropractic treatment alongside allopathic care, the clinic now provides the most complete health assistance in its history.

The new partnership with the Kansas City Free Health Clinic is an ideal opportunity for the College to be a good neighbor to those in need. Formed in 1971, the clinic is celebrating its 35th year of providing healthcare solutions free-of-charge to those who cannot pay for treatment or for those who do not have access to insurance.
