VOLUNTEER TO SERVE

 

Health For All is a community-supported clinic that relies on volunteers of all types, from medical professionals to students to senior citizens.

Volunteers created our clinic and continue to be our organization’s heart. Through the generosity of our volunteers who give their time, talent, and expertise, we have provided high-quality health care to some of the Brazos Valley’s most vulnerable residents for 37 years. We strive to serve all qualifying patients, but the demand for our services often exceeds the capabilities of our clinic.

We need the volunteer services of medical professionals, such as family practitioners, cardiologists, rheumatologists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, pharmacists, counselors, and nurses who share the value of our mission.

We also need non-medical volunteers to help maintain patient records, assist with scheduling, order medications, and help with other clinic tasks. Spanish-speaking volunteers are always needed to serve as translators.
