Who We Are
Founded in 2007 by passionate USF medical students, the BRIDGE Healthcare Clinic is a student-run, free clinic that bridges the gap in health-care access for the Tampa Bay area's underserved communities. Our multidisciplinary team — including experts in medicine, social work, physical therapy, pharmacy and public health — provide compassionate, high-quality care to those in need. We believe a healthy community is a thriving community.
What We Do
The BRIDGE Healthcare Clinic serves Tampa residents living below 300% of the federal poverty level. Our clinic is a lifeline in the community, offering primary care, specialty services, social work, public health and physical therapy — all at no cost to our patients. Our work is made possible by the generosity of donors like you, ensuring that those who need care the most can access it.
Your Impact
With the support of over 70 physicians and countless student volunteers from the Morsani College of Medicine, College of Public Health, Taneja College of Pharmacy and School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences, we treat more than 1,100 patients annually. Your support sustains this vital effort, enabling us to offer exceptional, cost-free care while continuously expanding our reach and services.
Your gift of any amount will help us reach our goal of 20 donors and unlock a $1,000 challenge gift from Dr. Valerie Riddle.

What Your Generosity Will Do

They also provide hands-on learning experiences for USF Health students while allowing us to expand our services and reach more patients. Without the BRIDGE Clinic, many of our patients would struggle to access the care they need. Your generosity helps us continue delivering high-quality care while growing our impact.
