We have added a Volunteer Orientation Page for those who are new to our organization: Check it out click here: Volunteer Orientation

We really appreciate your patients and hope you will keep checking back.

Just a note for those patients who are under 26 years of age: Be sure to check with your parents to see if you can obtain health coverage through one or both of them. With the new changes in the Affordable Healthcare Law most insurances through employers have already allowed their subscribers to add their children to their policies who previously did not qualify. According to the law that includes children between the ages of 18 and 26 who may or may not be in school, may or may not have a job AND who may or may not be married! Most require that the children (and step-children) be added during the “Open Enrollment Period” and for most companies that is generally now through the end of the year so check it out.
