Support the proliferation of accessible health care clinics
Many individuals - and widespread communities - do not have access to affordable medical care.
Volunteer to help at a local clinic or donate to ensure there are ample, affordable health and medical resources in communities characterized by high levels of individuals living below the NPPS.
To get started:
Identify local affordable medical clinics in your area.
Inquire about their volunteer needs, such as providing medical services, coordinating appointments, fundraising, event planning, or community outreach.
Commit to consistent engagement.
Best Practices / Innovative Programs
Locate clinics using The National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics' tool, which identifies clinics that provide health care access to medically underserved people in their communities.
Volunteers in Medicine America’s mission is to build and support a network of free primary health care clinics, emphasizing the use of retired and practicing medical and community volunteers.
