South Marshall Street Clinic
 The
Salvation Army Marshall House is a homeless shelter in Hartford
which houses single parent families, dual parent families,
married couples, single women, and adolescents cared for by the
Department of Children and Families (DCF). The Salvation Army
Marshall House provides a free medical clinic for the residents
of its shelter and is staffed by volunteers from the University
of Connecticut School of Medicine. The clinic benefits the
children and adolescents living at the shelter and to serve as a
learning experience for UConn medical students.
 The
clinic is open one evening a week on alternating Mondays and
Wednesdays from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The clinic is staffed by two
medical students and a teaching physician. On a typical night,
three to five pediatric and adolescent patients are seen. The
student volunteers (MS I-IV) take the patient's history and
perform a physical exam, then present the case to the attending
physician. The physician helps them form a differential
diagnosis, and then together they examine the patient and decide
on appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Directions
1. Take Farmington Avenue towards Hartford.
2. Pass Sisson Avenue and Woodland Avenue (both
have stop lights). St. Francis Hospital is on Woodland, so there
is a blue hospital sign pointing to the left which is a landmark
for Woodland.
3. The second block after Woodland is South
Marshall Street. Make a right. At the end of the block is a do
not enter sign. Go straight ahead despite this and immediately
beyond this sign is a driveway on the right. This is the
entrance to South Marshall Street Shelter. Park in the driveway
that runs behind the shelter. The shelter is a two-story brick
building with a black iron fence. Go to the door farthest from
where you pulled in and ring the bell. Explain that you are from
UConn for the clinic and someone will let you in.
or
4. If you don't want to disregard the do not
enter sign, make a right onto Forest Street (the Mark Twain
House is on the corner of Forest and Farmington Avenue). Then
make a left onto Hawthorne and then another left onto South
Marshall Street. The shelter is a two-story brick building on
your left with a black iron fence. Make a left into the
driveway. Park in the driveway that runs behind the shelter and
go to the south door and ring the bell. Explain that you are
from UConn for the clinic and someone will let you in. |
