BRIDGE Clinic

How does dancing and singing improve the health of a community? USF Health students and faculty show us the answer, as they recently held a talent show to benefit the USF BRIDGE Healthcare Clinic, which serves low-income, uninsured University Area residents. University Beat on WUSF TV has a look at their work, both onstage and in the Clinic.
