About.

Established in 1981

Originally, Cass Clinic, has been renamed Cass-Costea Clinic in 2024 in honor of our founder Dr. George Costea. On Saturday mornings year-round, Wayne State University School of Medicine student volunteers help provide primary healthcare services alongside attending physician Dr. Keith Hoffman.

Our Goal

Cass-Costea Clinic is a student-run free clinic dedicated to fulfilling the healthcare needs of the underserved population in Detroit by providing community members with free, quality medical care and prescription medications. ​
