Outreach

What do Outreach Volunteers do?

 

Outreach volunteers are essential to Avicenna Community Health Center.

  • They spend time in the community in order to help create awareness about our services while building relationships and trust with potential patients.

  • They provide glucose and blood pressure screenings at many health fairs and local organizations and events.

  • They educate all ages in the community about the importance of proper healthcare.

  • They forge new connections with other community organizations.

  • They post flyers around town and take time to talk to organizations, local businesses, and individuals.

  • They seek out opportunities for new projects.

Who can be an outreach volunteer?

You can! It takes everyone's help to spread the word about Avicenna's FREE health care services for adults. Our volunteers enthusiastically work to share quality services with community members in need. See the Apply tab to complete an application or to join the email list.
