Seeing patients at PHC is a way for me to give back to a community that has given me so much - and to get back to the basics of practicing medicine. I give 3-5 hours a week, but I also know providers who come once a month.
Gregg Lund, Osteopathic Physician
 I came here first as a patient; then my sister suggested maybe I could help out here. The atmosphere is so comfortable and flexible and I love to be able to give and to gain experience in a clinic at the same time. Since I want to go into medicine, it's perfect.
Jose Santana,
Front Desk Assistant
Helen Keller said, "People have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy cause." I am very grateful that we have this organization in our community that makes it so easy to volunteer.
Karl Vincent
Phlebotomist
Since I am a 2nd-homeowner, I can't come to the Clinic regularly to help. But I enjoy doing what I can because I want people to have the same health care opportunities I've had.

Greetings!
Happy New Year! As 2009 turned to 2010, perhaps your New Year's Resolution read "Volunteer a few hours a week in the community." If so, we're here to help, with our all-Volunteer issue. Getting involved in good work is easier to accomplish than losing 20 pounds. So read on, and see how your skills and goals might match up with the growing needs at PHC. |

The Good You Do Every Day Here's a letter we received during the holidays. It gives a glimpse into what you, our donors and volunteers, make happen in this community. In 2009, that amounted to over 6,100 times you connected a patient with quality health care.
Dear People's Health,
The other day I picked up a hitchhiker, a Jamaican man. He told me he had just come from the Clinic. He said that if it weren't for the care he receives at PHC, he would despair. He said you are lifesavers.
Please accept the enclosed donation, and keep up the good work!
