Why Fourth Street Clinic?

According to the U.S.

Department of Health & Human Services, many people in the United States don't get needed healthcare services due to barriers such as a lack of transportation, affordable housing, educational background, or discrimination.

FSC is here to provide services to vulnerable individuals and families, reducing barriers caused by social determinants of health. Wasatch Homeless Health Care, Inc.

(doing business as Fourth Street Clinic) began in 1988 as a triage clinic with one part-time nurse, relying on hospitals for patient treatment.

Today, FSC operates with a staff of nearly 100 caregivers and an eight-figure annual budget.

Last year, we provided comprehensive health care to more than 5,000 unsheltered men, women, and children through more than 20,000 visits in-person on-site, virtually, or through our Mobile Outreach van.

Join a team of dedicated, innovative, mission-driven staff who seek to deliver healthcare to under-resourced members of our community

Fourth Street Clinic embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion at all levels of our organization, and we strive for every employee to be comfortable being their authentic self at work.

We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, identities, and ideas.

We value greater inclusivity which yields greater achievements, fosters belonging, and improves access to high-quality health care for all as an essential human right.
