Cardinal Free Clinics

About Cardinal Free Clinics

Cardinal Free Clinics was established in 2005 as a union of Arbor and Pacific Free Clinics and an affiliate of the Stanford University School of Medicine. Our mission is to improve access to health care, provide high quality medical care, and train a new generation of health care professionals.

Arbor Free Clinic

Arbor Free Clinic

Arbor Free Clinic was founded in 1990 as the result of a student's research proposal to establish a volunteer clinic that would address unmet health care needs in the Stanford vicinity. Arbor fills a critical local niche, providing acute care to underserved or uninsured patients whose only alternative is often a hospital emergency room. In addition to acute care services, Arbor offers a broad array of on-site preventative health services including diagnostic tests and physical exams.

PFC offers a wide range of services, including health screenings for hypertension, cholesterol, glucose and Hepatitis B, laboratory testing, ultrasound and dental screenings, and a monthly women's clinic. As part of its chronic care services, PFC provides referrals to other specialty care clinics and community health providers, social services, and long-term medical assistance programs.
