Medical Director: Dr. Ron Diamond<br />
I always knew I enjoyed working with people with mental<br />
illness; before medical school, I worked as a social worker with<br />
people with severe and persistent mental illness. However, Safe<br />
Haven has given me the opportunity to work with and learn<br />
about this population in a medical setting. I love working with<br />
MEDiC because I am able to serve and learn at the same time.<br />
The Safe Haven<br />
Psychiatry Clinic was<br />
started in August<br />
1996 by UW medical<br />
students under the<br />
guidance <strong>of</strong> Dr. Ron<br />
Diamond.<br />

Safe Haven has expanded its<br />
volunteer base with the addition<br />
<strong>of</strong> psychiatry residents thanks to<br />
the efforts <strong>of</strong> Dr. Claudia<br />
Reardon, Safe Haven Clinic<br />
Coordinator from 2003-2004.<br />
100% <strong>of</strong> patients served at Safe<br />
Haven Clinic in <strong>2011</strong> were<br />
uninsured.<br />
The top diagnoses at Safe Haven<br />
in <strong>2011</strong> was depression.<br />
