Thank you to all who attended our grand re-launch of the Free Medical Clinic yesterday! The event would not be possible without many in-kind sponsorships from community partners. We so appreciate your support!

We're so appreciative of Dream a little ART at The Collective for lending her talents to our project! The Free Medical Clinc waiting room now has a mural highlighting Columbia landmarks and elements of the new brand design, creating a more welcoming space for patients and staff.

Out with the old and in with the new! Thanks to the @City of Columbia, Councilman Peter Brown and @Colite, the Free Medical Clinic and @Columbia Fire Department (SC) now have a new, co-branded sign to provide greater visibility.

LC25 is just one day away from the relaunch of the Free Medical Clinic and so close to meeting our goal for cash donations for the project. Monetary donations can be made here: loom.ly/6sZmKIs

Thanks to the help of City of Columbia and City Councilwoman, Dr. Aditi Bussels, the parking lot has been repaved at the Free Medical Clinic. Not only does this increase the facility's curb appeal, it will also provide with a smoother path for patients and staff when they arrive.

The transformation is nearly complete! Final touches are coming together as we look ahead to the reopening. #GrandReopening

The Leadership Columbia Class of 2025 is hard at work to make sure the Free Medical Clinic is ready for the grand re-launch on Monday, May 5. Make plans to join the celebration and RSVP here: loom.ly/KnJzlRU

This project and the work they are accomplishing helps us tremendously as we look forward to continuing to fulfill our mission of providing high quality health care to uninsured adults for many years to come.”

...to have the opportunity to refresh the Clinic physically as well as our visual brand has been amazing. All of the class members have been so engaged and enthusiastic. ⏬

LC25 is updating the Free Medical Clinic from the inside out, including a refresh of their visual brand. Caryn Pumphrey, Director of Development at the Free Medical Clinic, believes this work will set up the clinic for success for years to come. ⏬

As we count down to the grand reopening on May 5, elements of the new Free Medical Clinic logo are now being incorporated from the exterior to interior, including the brand design and colors in the waiting room, which will create a bright and inviting space for patients.
