The Health Care Equity Fair (HCEF) began in 2009 as a health screening fair organized by OHSU students across interprofessional programs to provide resources for Oregonians without health insurance. As the number of unhoused individuals in Oregon continues to grow, HCEF serves as a crucial resource for individuals seeking medical care in a system without larger structural solutions. Free community health fairs like HCEF allow individuals facing barriers to access health services, preventive services, and address unmet healthcare needs. Students planning HCEF raised money, partnered with community organizations, and volunteered in different patient supporting roles. This study seeks to evaluate the net value of the funds raised, goods donated, services provided, and hours volunteered by students and community partners during the fair.
