Resumen

In April 2015, HOPES Free Clinic introduced the State of the Clinic report, a monthly newsletter describing clinic statistics for each month including the number of patients seen at each clinic, the number of physician and student volunteers, lab tests ordered, reminder call success rates, among other statistics. This essay serves to describe the report including an overview of its organization, the process of data collection and presentation along with summary statistics from its first year, i.e. April 2015-March 2016, and finally, strengths and shortcomings of the report along with our plans for its future.
