Who Am I Helping As A Volunteer?
The RotaCare Pittsburg Free Medical Clinic is and urgent care clinic comprised of volunteer medical professionals and non-medical community members dedicated to providing free healthcare services to UNINSURED adults with acute or chronic medical conditions. Patients come to the clinic for acute issues such as respiratory ailments (asthma, allergies), infections, ear aches, sore throats, UTIs, headaches, and the like. Additionally, patients come in for chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid conditions.
The clinic’s medical services are donated by local healthcare professionals who give care without the expectation of payment. As a volunteer, you could help them continue this invaluable work that builds a healthier community and save lives. No controlled substances are prescribed.
Why Should I Become A Volunteer?
Volunteering with a clinic is easy and flexible, and the most rewarding experience among our volunteers is meeting the healthcare needs of patients with limited social and financial resources. Connecting with these patients from underserved and overlooked populations is one of the most positive parts of the volunteer experience at our clinic. Additionally, you can take your time with each patient; our goal is not how many patients you can see in a shift, but rather the quality of care that we can provide.
