Medical Student Charity Outreach Organization

LSU Health Shreveport’s MeSCO Foundation exists to improve the healthcare and well-being of the City of Shreveport and surrounding areas in Northwest Louisiana. Our focus is to assist any and all individuals who face barriers to care and improve the health equity of our workers, neighbors, families, and friends. From the severely underprivileged to those simply under-insured or facing unknown disparity or socioeconomic challenges that prevent them from seeking care under traditional means, we aim to uphold our vision by:

1. Overseeing and operating the MeSCO Mobile Health Clinic, an interdisciplinary, collaborative (faculty-precepted), student-run free clinic (SRFC)
2. Preparing and maintaining a sustainable plan to ensure the long-term outreach of the MeSCO SRFC
3. Supporting the advancement and future development of other student-driven clinical service projects
