Save to Favorites

California CareForce promotes the health and well-being of those in need through volunteer supported, no-cost healthcare clinics across California.

Since 2011, we have provided critical care worth $15+ million to over 36,500 patients thanks to 17,500+ professional and general volunteers. 85% of our patients are uninsured or under-insured and among the most vulnerable populations in California. We do not have any restrictions on who can receive our services based on insurance, income, employment, residency, or immigration status because our volunteers believe that everyone deserves basic healthcare.

The Triage area will take medical histories and provide blood pressure testing and glucose screenings. The Medical Section provides screenings, general health checks, and other basic services. The Dental Section will provide x-rays, cleanings, fillings and extractions to over 1,000 patients over the two days of our Clinic. The Vision Section will provide eye health checks, vision exams, and custom prescription eyeglasses made on-site to 600+ patients over the two days of our Clinic.

General volunteers are needed for the following: - Help check-in volunteers - Register patients - stock supplies - translate - sterilize dental supplies - Make glasses in the Vision lab - Escort patients from section to section - patient line control - Check patients out - Help on the food area - Various other roles

Volunteers are expected to serve at least one, full day. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided. All volunteers will receive a T-shirt and certificate of service. Our plug-and-play environment, complete with all the equipment and supplies you'll need, makes volunteering easy. You'll love being a part of our community of caring, dedicated volunteers in addition to improving the quality of life of those in need of access to basic healthcare in the Coachella Valley.
