ZVMS Street Medicine Initiative

Foot Care Clinic

The ZVMS Foundation is proud to support the ZVMS Street Medicine Initiative. The ZVMS Street Medicine Initiative provides direct care to people experiencing unstable housing through street rounds and community clinics. Learn more about the Street Medicine Initiative here.

On December 3, 2022, the Street Medicine Initiative will partner with homelessness service agencies to provide a foot care clinic for our community members experiencing unstable housing. Foot-related care is necessary in a population spending much time on their feet, often in improperly fitted shoes, unwashed socks, and inclement weather.

The December foot care clinic will be held at The Landing in Rochester, Minnesota. Medical students and physicians will provide free foot soaks and specialty care. Socks and shoes will be provided at no cost to visitors of the foot care clinic.

With your generous support, we will be able to fund medical supplies and equipment to diagnose and treat common foot-related conditions, as well as provide well-fitted shoes, socks, and foot care kits for individuals. We hope that the care, education, and supplies people receive at the December foot care clinic will help decrease the risk of frostbite and infection during the upcoming winter conditions.
