Clinic by the Bay is located in the Excelsior district of San Francisco. Many of our patients are monolingual Tagalog speakers and need the assistance of interpreters during their medical appointments to ensure that they receive high quality, culturally appropriate medical care. Tagalog speakers are also needed for various administrative assignments including contacting patients regarding the results of their medical tests, calling patients to remind them about their appointments, and interpreting documents we use for patient education.
Medical appointments are Tuesdays between noon and 8:00pm and Thursdays from 10:00am to 6:00pm. General office hours are Mon, Wed, Thurs & Friday from 10:00am to 6:00pm & Tuesday from noon to 8:00pm.

Mission Statement
To understand and serve, with dignity and respect, the health and wellness needs of the medically underserved in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Description
Clinic by the Bay is San Francisco's Volunteers in Medicine clinic. We serve the primary medical needs of the working uninsured in the Excelsior neighborhood (94112), in Visitacion Valley/Portola (94134), and in Daly City (94014, 94015).
As part of the national network of Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) clinics, Clinic by the Bay is about neighbor helping neighbor. We provide a caring medical home for our patients so they can work, attend school, care for their families and be productive members of their community.
Clinic by the Bay does not rely on government funding and accepts no insurance. We are supported by private institutional and individual gifts, plus in-kind contributions of professional services and supplies.
Our volunteers are retired and practicing doctors, nurses, and other community volunteers (e.g., receptionists, eligibility screeners, interpreters, computer experts, health educators) who provide compassionate care to our working uninsured neighbors.
