The Blythe Van Rensselaer Memorial Clinic (commonly referred to as the Jokertown clinic) is a medical center in the Wild Cards series of books. It was founded in 1966 by Dr. Tachyon in an effort to provide medical aid to the people of Jokertown and house research into the wild card virus.
The clinic is located on South Street, looking over the East River. It was named in memory of Dr. Tachyon's tragic love, the Four Aces member known as Brain Trust.
