Clinical Volunteer Opportunities at InterFaith Health Center
Longtime volunteer Carole Metz volunteers her skills as a nurse
Over 100 people volunteer their services on-site and over 400 off site-volunteers see our patients. Each year, more than 6,000 volunteer hours are recorded on-site. Our faithful volunteers and staff work together to fulfill the mission laid before us by a Board of Directors. Local hospitals work closely with the clinic by providing lab work and accepting patients for hospitalization and diagnostic testing using our sliding fee scale.
While groups of non-clinical volunteers are occasionally needed for general projects such as painting, yardwork/maintenance, and clerical duties, our most pressing need is for clinical volunteers such as physicians, dentists, nurses, dental hygienists, specialists, etc. You may set your own volunteer schedule, and you can elect to see patients on-site at the clinic or in your own private office.
