What is Nexus Clinic?

Nexus Clinic is a dedicated pop-up clinic committed to providing free healthcare screenings to the uninsured and underprivileged residents of Lawrence, MA. Inspired by the visionary efforts of a group of high school students who founded Haven4Healing—a health equity promoting club—Nexus Clinic emerged as a key project to address the pressing healthcare needs within the community.

Initially conceived as a small initiative, Nexus Clinic is growing into fully operational pop-up clinic through the passion and dedication of these young advocates. Our mission is to offer essential health services at no cost for underserved communities, focusing on diabetes, BMI, and hypertension screenings. These services were chosen based on extensive conversations with local medical institutions, which identified these conditions as the most prevalent and in need of attention within the communities we help.
