Speakers

Our Why: Access to healthcare has never been more important. Millions of vulnerable people in our communities would lack access to care without the efforts of free and charitable clinics across the nation. With the help of students, leaders, volunteers, and professionals, we can conquer the challenges facing free clinics and ensure patients receive high quality, low-cost care in every community.

Our Vision: This year's IAC conference aims to foster a dynamic and robust community of students, leaders, volunteers, and professionals across the nation dedicated to producing innovative tech-- involving software and/or hardware-- solutions for free clinics and the patients they serve. Tune in for informational presentations, breakout room discussions, and student presentations highlighting pressing problems and compelling solutions for the biggest problems presently faced by free clinics!

The pandemic has brought a rapid shift in telehealth, a meaningful but significant deviation from prior operations. Learn more about underlying challenges that remain ongoing and how you can make an impact!

Due to pandemic-related lifestyle disruptions, demand for free clinics have grown. Connecting interested volunteers with patients is essential to the functioning of these clinics, and has remained a perennial problem. Join the conversation to learn more!

Over 80% of free clinics indicate funding as a leading operational concern; 64% cancelled their annual fundraising events. During times when free clinic demand has risen for the vast majority of free clinics, additional funding is needed more than ever to help vulnerable patients.
