Social Services:  The Social Services committee works to provide access to necessary care and resources that are not offered at the San Bernardino Free Clinic. We offer information regarding food banks and shelters, as well as instructions on receiving free eyeglasses and reducing utility bills. In addition, the Social Services committee also provides information regarding additional clinics, dental work, screening programs, as well as resources related to drug rehabilitation, reproductive health, orthopedic care, and immigration support for undocumented patients. We also work to strengthen relationships with community organizations in order to collaboratively provide essential resources to improve both the health and social conditions of underserved patients in the Inland Empire.

Medical Spanish: Bridge the language barrier between the Spanish speaking community and the healthcare team at the San Bernardino Free Clinic. Our duty is to serve the Spanish speaking community by answering their questions to the best of our ability. This is done to ensure that the Spanish-speaking community of San Bernardino has an outlet to extend their healthcare needs without fear of being rejected for not speaking English. We collaborate with the different committees on a daily basis to ensure nothing gets lost in translation. The committee also translates any and all documents that the patient will receive. If a patient's needs help filling out a document, we guide patients every step of the way. We hope that our action will result in a comfortable and enjoyable setting to ensure that the patient receives the best care possible.
