Free Clinics of Iowa is the largest network of free clinics in the State of Iowa. FCI member clinics provide basic healthcare services through volunteer physicians, nurses, and other health professionals, at no cost to patients.

**To be consistent with the guidelines from the CDC for those in the health care field, and to keep our community as safe as possible, all volunteers wishing to participate in DMU Community Service organized events, must be fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. This means 2 weeks after your 2nd Pfizer or Moderna shot or 2 weeks after your first Johnson & Johnson shot. Please ensure you have verified your vaccination status by reviewing your immunization record on Pulse to make sure your vaccination date(s) are listed as we will be validating this to confirm eligibility to participate. Thank you for your cooperation.
