We need occasional volunteers in our health centers to help overseeing call-in days and petition signing days for Calls-to-Action regarding support for community health centers.
Open Door collaborates with the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and the Community Health Centers Association for New York State (CHCANYS), both special advocacy organizations working on legislative & policy issues affecting Community Health Centers. Advocates for Open Door help by supporting community health issues at the local, state and national level. You can do this in the comfort of your own home; help at an Open Door health center or by accompanying Open Door to meet with our legislators in Albany on Advocacy Day. Your support as a health center advocate helps to urge our local, state and US legislators to continue support for community centers and Open Door. Please help us make sure the voice of our patients is heard!
Our health centers are located in Ossining, Sleepy Hollow, Port Chester, Mt. Kisco and Brewster.
Please contact Alicia Ward, Volunteer Coordinator at award@odfmc.org or call 914-502-1468

Description
As a pioneer Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), Open Door serves nearly 60,000 individual patients- with more than 40% of patients having no health insurance coverage. Primary care, dental care, behavioral health care, clinical nutrition, wellness programs and chronic disease management are the foundation of Open Door’s clinical programs. For nearly 50 years, Open Door has developed a proven model of cost-effective, preventive care for patients that benefits entire communities. Open Door currently operates health centers in Ossining, Port Chester, Sleepy Hollow, Mount Kisco, Brewster, Mamaroneck, as well as eight School-Based Health Centers in the Ossining and Port Chester school districts, and a comprehensive dental facility in Saugerties. Open Door is accredited by the Joint Commission, recognized by the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, and recognized as the leading Health Disparities Reducer in NYS by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA). Open Door achieves clinical results that consistently surpass national benchmarks for patient outcomes related to diabetes management, blood pressure control and asthma, among others.
