H.O.M.E.S. stands for Houston Outreach Medicine, Education, and Social Services. It’s a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary, student-run, free clinic for the homeless people of Houston.

Working together to staff the clinic are students from the following area institutions

Baylor College of Medicine
University of Texas – Houston Health Science Center
University of Texas – Houston School of Public Health
University of Houston College of Pharmacy

The HOMES Clinic began in 1999 when a group of medical students from Baylor College of Medicine and from the University of Texas at Houston got together with Dr. David Buck, from BCM, who would become President of Healthcare for the Homeless – Houston. They recognized an urgent need for the service and agreed to maintain clinic hours on Sundays because studies showed that medical care was non-existent for the homeless on that day, except at area emergency rooms.

Since its inception, the HOMES Clinic has involved hundreds of student volunteers and has served over 1,000 patients.

The policy of HOMES Student-run clinic is to schedule students to volunteer at the clinic over an approximately two month span. Students may sign-up for as many or as few Sundays as they want. The schedules for students are either posted on the website (www.homeless-healthcare.org under student clinics and then under schedules) (for medical students and public health) or are scheduled by the school's coordinator (pharmacy). If a student is unable to attend the Sunday(s) scheduled, then it is the responsibility of the student to find a replacement the Thursday before and/or notify the HOMES representatives in charge of scheduling by this deadline. Students who do not find replacements or notify representatives within a timely manner may have their rights to participate at the clinic in the future suspended.
Students should arrive at the church by 8:00 am at the latest.
I have read the above policy and understand and accept the requirements and duties of participating in this program.
