Volunteering your time
and talents |
|
Through the gracious donation of their time and
talents, volunteers make it possible for San José
Clinic to fulfill its mission. Exceptional
volunteer healthcare providers, community
volunteers, institutions of higher learning and
related organizations work alongside San José
Clinic staff to provide an array of services for those who
have been excluded from the healthcare system due to
their lack of health insurance.
For those who volunteer within these walls, it may
be the best job they were never paid to do. In
2007, our dedicated volunteer corps topped 511
persons, contributing 12,931 service hours valued at
more than $335,594.
Many other volunteers come to the Clinic by way of
student and church groups, community and service
organizations, corporations, retirees, and family
and friends of Clinic employees. Volunteers
generously give their time once a week, once a month
or simply for a few hours a day several times a
year.
