Pediatric Links with the Community (PLC) Program

PLC is an innovative partnership between the University of Rochester Departments of Pediatrics, Medicine-Pediatrics, Family Medicine, as well as Community and Preventive Medicine, Psychology, School of Nursing and Rochester community-based agencies.  The goals of this collaboration are to:

• Enhance residents', fellows' and medical students' knowledge about community-oriented and community-based health care, especially for those children who lack access to care because of social or economic conditions or special health needs
• Implement meaningful partnerships between the pediatric, medicine-pediatric, family medicine residency programs, nurse practitioner students, and community-based organizations in order to teach residents and students and benefit children
• Inspire future health care professionals to improve the health of children in their communities

Our Mission

To inspire and enable health care professionals to participate in community-based partnerships, evidence-based programs, and advocacy to improve the health of children and families.
