Involvement Opportunities
Our teams go out into the field to create primary care networks and provide ambulatory field care to those who need it. We currently have teams that go out Thursday mornings and afternoons. If you are interested in joining them in the field, please fill out the Google Form below with your availability and we will work to schedule a volunteer opportunity for you. Please be aware that volunteer shifts are in short supply and high demand, so it might be some time before you can get into the field.
