Actively addressing needs in rural Pennsylvania

As future health care providers, students at Penn State College of Medicine gain first-hand experience in caring for and creating opportunities to improve the health of rural Pennsylvanians. The LION Mobile Clinic, led by Michael McShane, MD, assistant professor of medicine, uses a student-led free clinic model to increase access to health care, address food insecurity, promote economic development and enhance sustainability practices in under-resourced communities across the Commonwealth.

The clinic is helping to prepare the next generation of community-centered clinicians and empowering residents in rural communities to become healthier.
