myHealth is a 501(c) non-profit health clinic. We provide medical and mental health counseling to young people ages 12-26 on a sliding fee scale. People can use insurance if they have it, but if they don't have it, can't afford it, are undocumented citizens, or if it is unsafe for them to use their insurance, they pay what they can afford all the way down to zero. No one is turned away for inability to pay.
We are looking for someone to help us get the word out about our amazing organization. Responsibilities would include seeking out opportunities and setting up a resource table in the community to let people know who myHealth is and what services we provide.

Description
myHealth for Teens & Young Adults is a 501c3 non-profit organization that began in 1971 when a group of local health care providers, school professionals, law enforcement, church officials, and high school students came together to address the increase in unplanned pregnancies and the emergence of sexually transmitted infections among the youth population in the Excelsior area. In February of 1972, West Suburban Teen Clinic opened its first clinic with one full-time nurse, a Board of Directors, 125 volunteer nurses, 30 volunteer lab technicians and 20 volunteer physicians. Over the years we have expanded our services beyond the medical clinic to include Mental Health services and Educational Programs. myHealth partners with school districts, community organizations and coalitions to meet the growing needs of young people and their families in the areas we serve. In 2012, we changed our name to myHealth for Teens & Young Adults to reflect these changes.
