Ways to Get Involved
Volunteers assist in all areas at Health Right. Caring and qualified people work with patient charts, fill out applications for free medications, do clerical tasks, and help patients fill out applications and surveys.
Volunteers participate in various group projects from painting the clinic, offices and waiting rooms; to doing major indoor and outdoor cleanup work; to assisting in fund raising programs.
