The USF Health Ybor Youth Clinic and The Spring of Tampa Bay recently partnered to design a mural signifying their commitment to raising awareness of domestic violence within the LGBTQ community.
“In our initial discussions, we didn’t know where it should be. Now that it’s done, we realized it’s exactly where it should be,” Dr. Sanders said. “We can only do so much here in the clinic. So, working alongside community partners who can help serve our patients is crucial to our model working the way it does.”

USF student Chandler Rumbaugh, 21, said he first turned to the clinic two or three years ago for routine HIV and STI testing, as well as to learn more about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis).
"It feels like a second home. Everybody there is genuinely so happy, so nice, so patient, so understanding," said Rumbaugh. "I'd tell anybody, 'If you need to go, go. They will take care of you. They want to help you.'"
