News24 recently featured the work that Trinity Health Services, the entity that Holy Trinity, in conjunction with medical students at the University of the Witwatersrand, created to provide medical service to the many street people who come to Holy Trinity on a Monday evening. Lerato Sejake from News24 wrote the following report:

“Just knowing that you can make a difference, even at a small level, is the best.” Those are the words of final year medical student Traci Sanders during a walkabout of their makeshift clinic in central Johannesburg. “It’s a learning process but we are also giving back to the community,” she said. The clinic runs every other Monday from 18:00 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Braamfontein. Since its relaunch last year, they have seen about 250 patients – between 15 and 20 patients per shift. Serious cases are referred to the Hillbrow Community Health Centre and Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. Sanders said she wants to see Trinity Clinic grow into a holistic primary health care centre “involving other disciplines such as physiology and HIV counselling”.

The wonderfully generous and talented students at Trinity Health Services have been busy creating some videos about the work they do. They have created a Virtual Tour of the Clinic at Holy Trinity:

We are very proud of all the Doctors, Pharmacists, and Students from the University of the Witwatersrand who dedicate many hours to helping the poor and the homeless through Trinity Health Services. We continue to pray for them and their well-wishers, supporters, donors and benefactors.
