Why Volunteer at a Free Clinic?

Free clinics are community based or faith-based organiztions that provide a friendly and hassle-free environment to practice medicine, interact with colleagues and make a difference in your community.  Staffed by both active and retired healthcare professionals, they are in many respects ideal for retired clinicians wishing to stay engaged.  Chronic diseases like diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular disease and hypertension are common.  Staffed entirely by volunteers, everyone is there for the same reason - to provide good quality care in a practical manner to needy and appreciative patients.  Volunteers are invited to practice as often as they feel comfortable. Many choose to volunteer once a mnth, but clinics are grateful for whatever frequency and duration clinicians wish to volunteer.
