COME JOIN OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEER MEDICAL INTERPRETERS!
BVMI provides free primary healthcare to low-income Bergen County residents who do not have health insurance. Our patients come from many different backgrounds, so we are always in need of interpreters.
BVMI is looking for special volunteers to help interpret for patients and practitioners.
We are primarily in need of Spanish speakers, especially those with a medical background. However, other languages, including Korean, are also needed.
Please visit www.BVMI.org or contact Elaine Posner - eposner@bvmi.net for more information!
Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative provides FREE primary care to low-income, working Bergen County, NJ residents who do not have health insurance. Our goal is to keep our patients out of the emergency room. We believe that how people are treated during a visit to BVMI’s Healthcare Center is as important as the medical care they receive.
