“Part of our mission is to make medical services accessible and affordable to the communities we partner with,” said Frank Giannelli, an assistant professor for the physician assistant program at the Rutgers School of Health Professions. “With help from Affinity, we can provide free primary care to uninsured and underserved adults and keep the clinic open longer.”
