Bilingual Spanish Interpreter
The Free Clinics
Assist physicians, nurses, clinicians by interpreting information to Spanish-speaking clients of The Free Clinics. May also be a bilingual eligibility screener, completing the screening process for clients to ensure they qualify for services.
Days and hours vary; however, we especially need translators for our Eye and Endocrine clinics on 1st and 3rd Monday afternoon/evenings, and our weekly Tuesday evening urgent care clinic. Email volunteer@thefreeclinics.org to get started.

Mission Statement
The Free Clinics (TFC) enhances the healthcare system in Henderson and Polk Counties and neighboring communities to ensure the accessibility of quality healthcare for uninsured, low-income clients.

Description
At The Free Clinics, we know that health is everyone’s responsibility. We are a community of volunteers working together to make Henderson and Polk counties a healthier place to live, work, learn, and play for our neighbors in need and for ourselves. One in 5 residents of our neighbors in Henderson & Polk Counties qualifies for our services; that need has not changed, even after full implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Through The Free Clinics, our community comes together, helping our most vulnerable neighbors address their health concerns--with everything from access to a doctor’s visit and medications to lack of health food or transportation challenges. Helping our neighbors in need helps us all. Anyone can help! We can always use more volunteers, help spreading the word about our services, and, of course, donations. A lot of our donors appreciate knowing that we turn every dollar we receive into $8.53 worth of care for our patients!
