COME JOIN OUR TEAM OF EXCEPTIONAL PHYSICIANS
Americares operates four free clinics in Fairfield County in Norwalk, Bridgeport, Danbury, and Stamford. Our mission is to provide free quality health care to low-income, uninsured residents in a setting where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. By partnering with local hospitals and Quest Diagnostics for donated laboratory and diagnostic testing, and by relying upon a hybrid paid/volunteer staff, we are able to provide free primary care to the working poor. Since 1994, we have provided more than $141 million in medical care to 28,000 patients.
Physicians receive excellent support from our caring and competent team of nurses, interpreters, and screeners.
Physicians are required to be Board-Certified/Board-Eligible in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Emergency Medicine and have a current Connecticut license. Our medical volunteers typically work one 4-hour clinic session usually once every 4 weeks, or more frequently if desired.
Medical malpractice coverage is provided for all volunteers while on site. For physicians more than 2 years - evidence of some continuing work in a related field. Retired physicians who volunteer more than 100 hours in a calendar year are eligible to waive their license renewal fee.
