HealthSET is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of the low-income elderly. Our highly-skilled and compassionate staff and volunteers provide free health clinics and substantial follow-up care, acting as a bridge to the complex health care and social service systems. We give our most vulnerable seniors the tools to live independently which is essential to preserving their quality of life.
As a HealthSET Intake Volunteer, you will act as an essential member of the team to greet clients as they arrive, sign them in to see our providers, and maintain the flow and organization of the clinic.
This opportunity requires excellent customer service skills, passion for helping the population that we serve, and ability to preserve confidentiality of information in the clinic. Contact us today to learn more!

Mission Statement
The mission of HealthSET is to extend the healing ministry of Christ by Serving and Empowering the low-income elderly in the Denver metro area through nursing, education, and advocacy to Transform the quality of their lives.
Description
HealthSET provides services to the elderly population through the our monthly Health Promotion Clinics. HealthSET's free Health Promotion Clinics are offered to residents at over 24 low-income senior high-rise buildings in the Denver metropolitan area. Each month, our staff and volunteer nurses give seniors wellness assessments; monitor health problems; educate residents about nutrition and other good health practices; and provide referrals to the HealthSET social worker for info & assistance. These clinics help seniors prevent chronic illnesses or other health issues from escalating to the point where they will no longer be able to live independently. Organized around a model of social interaction, the clinics focus on wellness rather than illness. To help residents remember when to come in, clinics are held at a particular building on the same day every month. Many of our clients come regularly to our clinics, though it is voluntary.
Client Advocacy - The Client Advocacy Program provides a professional social work to support older adults as they strive to remain in their homes. Typical needs that a client advocate can refer a senior for include access to financial aid or benefit programs, access to medical, dental, vision, and mental health services, nutrition, in-home referrals, Advanced Directive info, and transportation help.
