Family Tree Clinic

Family Tree Clinic was founded by Macalester College students and teachers, health professionals and community leaders in 1971. Their goal was to serve the thousands of teens and adults in the area neglected by the traditional health care system. From the beginning our founders based their philosophy of care on the needs of the community, including maintaining a volunteer Board of Directors. Many of those who serve on our board are patients, community members and health care professionals. Our Board of Directors and founders brought a unique perspective to the field of family planning health care - they put an emphasis on education and outreach. Today, in addition to our clinical services, Family Tree Clinic is proud to offer community education programs, education services for the Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing, rewarding volunteer opportunities, and a strong focus on accessibility. We work to keep our services accessible, confidential and affordable and to stay involved in the community. Family Tree Clinic is now the largest provider of reproductive health care in Ramsey County. To this day addressing the needs of the community is our biggest inspiration and goal.
