Why Your Support Matters
The DEAC (Delivering Equal Access to Care) Clinic is a student-run, physician-staffed clinic that provides free care to individuals who need it most. Funds raised through the gala directly support patient care services and help remove barriers to health care for underserved communities throughout Winston-Salem and the surrounding area.
Last year's gala funding helped provide 59 pairs of new shoes and 57 pairs of eyeglasses for patients who might otherwise have gone without. We are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to support the clinic's mission and expand access to high-quality health care.
